Lyrics[]
We came for Ninjago
To put on a show
Unlocked our potential
Now we're ready to go-oh-oh
It's been a decade of spinning
And rocking out for our friends
But with new history lurking
We'll be ready to rise again
And when we hear that Weekend whippin'
We jump it up, kick it back, whip around and spin again
One, two, three, come on and follow me to the
Four, five, six, that's it!
I think we're ready to go
We're hanging Ten for Ninjago
Seven to the eight, we jump the ninth gate
Jay, Cole, Kai, Lloyd and Wu, Garmadon, Nya, and Zane
And mark it Ten for Ninjago
In the beginning
We started a battle
Fought the rise of a million serpentine
And then the future was primed to win
With a mission upon us
We protected Ninjago
From the evil of Oni
And the fall of the sixteen realms
And when we hear that Weekend whippin'
It'll take us back, to the track, where we all yelled
JUMP UP, KICK BACK, DO IT AGAIN!
It went one, two, three, come on and follow me to the
Four, five, six, come on
I think we're ready to roll
We're goin' Ten for Ninjago
Seven to the eight, we jump the ninth gate
Jay, Cole, Kai, Lloyd and Wu, Misako, P.I.X.A.L. and Zane
Let's call it Ten for Ninjago
Ten for Ninjago
Ten for Ninjago
We met Lloyd and beat the digital beast
Ninjago was in its Infancy
But we went on a NINJA ROLL
Found our balance as we conquered the Djinn
Played the Tournament of Elements
But took second to Master Chen
In years seven, eight, and nine
We got hunted by the Hands of Time
Before a wicked return, it's clear
After ten years, Ninjago is in its Prime
Now's the Time!
Let's go one, two, three, come on and follow me to the
Four, five, six, LET'S SPIN!
I think we're ready to roll
A perfect Ten for Ninjago
Seven to the eight, we jump the ninth gate
Jay, Cole, Kai, Lloyd, Wu, Garmadon, P.I.X.A.L., Nya, and Zane
Another Ten for Ninjago
Ten for Ninjago
Another Ten for Ninjago

Trivia
Trivia[]
- In the song, Serpentine is mispronounced "serpen-TYNE," the pronunciation of the real word, in addition to the way Kalmaar pronounces it.
- This is the first non-Weekend Whip Ninjago song to be released since "Digital Love" in 2020.
- A number of additional references to the ten years of the series include:
- "Jump it up, kick it back, whip around and spin again" - The Weekend Whip
- "We got hunted" - Season 9: Hunted (This is confirmed by the shot in the music video featuring the opening scene of Hunted)
- "Ninja Roll" - The episode or the song
- "a wicked return" - Pilot (Garmadon), Season 1 (the Serpentine/the Great Devourer), Season 2 (The Overlord), Season 3 (The Overlord/Pythor), Season 4 (Chen), Season 5 (Morro), The Realm of Shadows (Clouse) Season 6 (Nadakhan), Dark Island Trilogy (Clouse again), Day of the Departed (almost all villains revealed up to that point), Season 7 (Time Twins), Season 8 (Garmadon again), Season 10 (Oni), Season 11 (Aspheera), Season 13 (Grief-Bringer), The Island (Ronin), Seabound (Wojira).
- "New history lurking" - Though it is hard to objectively state which history is "new", any information not included between the Pilot and Season 2's finale could be considered new. Therefore, Season 5 (Wu's first student, Morro), Season 6 (Nadakhan and his crew), Day of the Departed (Yang's curse), Season 7 (Aftermath of the Serpentine War), Season 8/9 (Oni/Dragon history/First Spinjitzu Master's origins), Season 11 (Aspheera and the Ice Emperor's respective pasts), Season 12 (videogame development and history), Season 13 (Lilly's past), The Island (Keepers' history), Seabound (the first named original elemental master, and her story)
- The segment which starts "Jay, Cole, Kai, Lloyd, Wu, Garmadon, Nya, and Zane") changes, at one point removing Garmadon and Nya's names whilst inserting P.I.X.A.L. and Misako's, then finalizes by having all except Misako's. This reflects the change in focus characters during years 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9; the same years as mentioned in the recap.
- The music video was filmed and edited by Ninjago fan and video editor Hayley Wolfe.[1]
- This song, along with "We Are Ninjago" and "The Weekend Whip" is one of the only songs to also be officially released in another language, that being German.
