I'm the Grumpy Old Troll! is a song sung by the Grumpy Old Troll and it's his theme. Whenever Dora and Boots try to cross his bridge, he would jump out and dance to and sing this song. He would then require them to solve a riddle (or other challenge), otherwise, they will not be allowed to cross the bridge. This song was first heard in Surprise!.

Trivia[]
- On some episodes, like To the Monkey Bars and Baseball Boots, the Grumpy Old Troll does not sing the last line. Sometimes, however, he would say something else after the second-to-last line, "All you have to do is this!". For example:
- In Benny's Treasure, he says "Match my sounds!".
- In Little Map, his last line was "Find my cousins!".
- There are some episodes the Grumpy Old Troll doesn't sing his song at all when Dora and Boots travel to his bridge. This first occurred in The Fix-it Machine.
- On episodes such as The Super Silly Fiesta, The Shy Rainbow, We're a Team, Perrito's Big Surprise, and more recently Baby Bongo's Big Music Show the Grumpy Old Troll only sang the first line of the song and stops at "Hey!".
- In case of the latter-said episode, he beats his salsa drums after he said "Hey!".
- The Grumpy Old Troll sings his song twice in the soundtrack, but the first time is without the last line.
- This song is not featured in Dance And Sing! The Best Of Nick Jr.
- It is the eleventh track in Dora the Explorer (album).
- The song was remade in The Mystery Gift.
Goofs/Errors[]
- When Mr. Troll sings the song in most episodes since Season 5 onwards, he is smiling.
- However, the first time he did that was in the episode Little Star, but only up until the line "Who's there?!".
