The Lyrics
Luigi feels like he doesn't have any enemies, so Bowser and some of the other enemies decide to prove him wrong.
Bowser: Aw, come on, kid. Everyone has an enemy…Hey, fellas, aren’t we his enemies?
Kamek, Fawful, and Grodus: We’re your fiends
We’re your fiends
We’re your fiends for eternity
Bowser: Eternity
Kamek: When you’re alone
Others: When you’re alone
Kamek: Who sneaks around
Others: Who sneaks around
Kamek: To trip you up
Others: To trip you up
Kamek: And beat you down
Others: And beat you down
Kamek: And when you’re
All: Outside looking in
Who’s there to slam shut the door
That’s what fiends are for
Who’s always eager to extend
An unfriendly claw
That’s what fiends are for
And when you’re lost
In dire need
Who’s there to strike
At frightening speed
We’re enemies with everybody down the pike
In fact, we’ve never met a single person that we liked
All and Luigi: That we liked
All 4: As you can see
We’re fiends
We’re fiends in need
And fiends indeed
We’ll keep you frightened and fearful
Forevermore
Bowser: That’s what fiends are for
Kamek, Fawful, and Grodus: We’re your fiends
We’re your fiends
We’re your fiends for eternity
Bowser: Eternity
Kamek: When you’re alone
Others: When you’re alone
Kamek: Who sneaks around
Others: Who sneaks around
Kamek: To trip you up
Others: To trip you up
Kamek: And beat you down
Others: And beat you down
Kamek: And when you’re
All: Outside looking in
Who’s there to slam shut the door
That’s what fiends are for
Who’s always eager to extend
An unfriendly claw
That’s what fiends are for
And when you’re lost
In dire need
Who’s there to strike
At frightening speed
We’re enemies with everybody down the pike
In fact, we’ve never met a single person that we liked
All and Luigi: That we liked
All 4: As you can see
We’re fiends
We’re fiends in need
And fiends indeed
We’ll keep you frightened and fearful
Forevermore
Bowser: That’s what fiends are for

Although it could have used some word twists, this was cute, and didn't even need the Mario games references to make sense.
Very cleverly done...and catchy title
