Team StarKid, Brian Holden, Jim Povolo, Jaime Lyn Beatty, Joey Richter, Dylan Saunders - Kick It Up a Notch lyrics

Scales and exoskeletons
Why, they pale in comparison
To a body that is covered up by skin

We get rid of those antennae
Give you hair, and clothes and then I
Add two eyes and a nose and my boy
That is only the beginning

(spoken) hmm what do you say you
Become a Starship Ranger?

Me?

Now listen to me, my confused
Little friend we are friends, after all i
Used to have my fair share of
Doubts and fears and well, they quite
Literally almost ate me alive but no! I
Took charge! I pushed it to
The limit! So you gotta be strong
Be tough! To coin a phrase, be a man
Ahahaha!

(sung) you've gotta kick it up a notch
If you're ever gonna reach your goal
You can't sit around and watch
Your destiny is in your control

Go ahead and kick it up a notch
If your life is at a level too low
There's no attempt that you can botch
When all you gotta do is just give it a go
But then again what do I know?

What I see right there is a prisoner
Who's sittin' on top of the key

So kick it up a notch
If you ever wanna be free

Wow a real Starship Ranger that would be
The coolest thing in the whole world!

It would
Wouldn't it? A bug in a human body you could
Be the link between our race and theirs

Well, do I even have what it takes-

Shh

All you gotta do is kick it up a notch
To dig yourself outta this hole
You wanna have the things they got?
Then you gotta give that dice a roll

Kid, kick it up a notch
What's the point of less when there is more?

Have a cigar

A glass of scotch
When opportunity knocks at your door
You let him in and then ya

Settle the score

Life is short so before it's over
Take a chance to think it through
You'd better kick it up a notch
It's the human thing to do

It's a big, big, universe so many dimensions
And unanswered questions

Not to mention life
What an invention life

There's no choice involved in
What you are given
One mind, one voice, one body to live in

But

You wanna be a Starship Ranger
Or is that a dream that you forgot?
You wanna be a Starship Ranger?
Well, this might be your one and only shot!

(spoken) so here's the choice
Bug you could go on
Leading your meaningless existence
Or you could take everything
You've ever wanted
All I ask in return is that you befriend
The humans and bring them to me
Well, Bug? Whaddaya say?

I i i think I'll kick it up a notch
I don't care about the queen or the hive

That's the spirit! Kick 'em all straight
In the crotch! How about that?

Who are they to deprive us of wanting to-

Kick it up a notch
Never give yourself a reason to doubt
You gotta strike it while it's hot
'Cause that's what livin's all about
My dear Bug, it's time the lights went

I'm gonna be a Starship Ranger!
I'm gonna be a Starship Ranger!
I'm gonna be a Starship Ranger!

Well, see you on the other side
Pincer i love you

Oh, oh uhh i love you too, Bug
Heh heh heh heh

I know we're suckahs
But that guy's a suckah!

Yes, yes what a dumbass! Break
Out the good china
Boys tonight we dine again!

(sung) kick it up a notch
Oh, my plan is all about to unfold
Let's put a twist into this plot
Bug, go forth
Do everything that I've told ya

When we, kick it up a notch

It's blood for us!

And brains for me!

I'm gonna let this little snot
Be everything he's wanted to be
But only because I know he'll actually

Feed my hunger for flesh
I want it warm and fresh

Oh, Pincer you're in for a treat!

Let's kick it up a notch

Kick it up a notch

So at last i'll have human meat!

Ha ha hahahaha!
