Main Title (a.k.a. “Gotta Find That Dragon Ball!”)
Dragon Ball English Dub Opening Theme
(1995 Ocean Version - Episodes 1-13 & Movie 1)
Composer: Peter Berring
Transcription: Julian Grybowski
Transcriber’s Note:
Back before DBZ found its niche with audiences, FUNimation attempted to dub the original DragonBall. Thirteen episodes were dubbed, using Ocean Studios for the cast, as was the first theatrical movie. These episodes aired in syndication. Although it had a small following, the show was not popular enough to warrant the production of more English episodes, and FUNimation skipped ahead to do DBZ. Although the current English version of DB uses the original Japanese score and English versions of the original themes, this version used a completely new set of music, written by Peter Berring. The theme was actually a pretty catchy tune, too. Anyway, this is the theme used in the 1995 DB dub.
English Lyrics
Dragon Ball! Gotta find that Dragon Ball!
Don’t stop until you got ’em all, the seven magic balls,
It’s all you gotta do to have your wish come true!
Get that Dragon Ball! Dragon Ball!
The greatest test of all is to find that seventh ball.

Danger all around you, villains everywhere,
Evil, it surrounds you, keep on searchin’, but beware!
(Goku! He’s gonna show you!) He’s gonna help you find the way!
(Goku! He’s gonna show you!) He and his friends are gonna save the day!

Dragon Ball! There’s always evil lurkin’ till the Dragon calls,
You won't believe the magic in those seven balls,
Everybody’s searchin’ for the Dragon Balls!
Hey everybody, Julian here. This invisible text doesn’t have anything to do with the song itself, so as long as you’re just casually reading the lyrics on Daizenshuu EX, this doesn’t concern you. However, if you’re reading this on another site, please contact me, at jgjedi@aol.com. I put a lot of hard work into this transcription, and I don’t appreciate those who would try and steal my work, claiming it as their own. So, to all of you worthless assholes out there who do that sort of thing, be aware...I’m watching.
