- Theme song lyrics
It started when an alien device did what it did
And stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid
Now he's got superpowers, he's no ordinary kid
He's Ben 10 (Ben 10)
So if you see him, you might be in for a big surprise
He'll turn into an alien before your very eyes
He's slimy, creepy, fast and strong, he's every shape and size
He's Ben 10 (Ben 10)
Armed with powers, he's on the case
Fighting off evil from Earth or space
He'll never stop 'till he makes them pay
'Cause he's the baddest kid to ever save the day
Ben 10 (Ben 10! B-B-B-Ben! Ben 10! B-B-B-Ben!)
