Lyrics of 'Kick It Up a Notch' by Starship The Musical

PINCER: 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 begining....

[BUG: What are you saying?]
[PINCER: You become a Starship Ranger. Listen, my little friend. We are friends, after all. I used to have my fair share of doubts and fears, and 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...]

You've gotta
Kick it up a notch
If you're ever gonna reach your goal
You can't sit around a watch
Your destiny's in your control

Go 'head 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 sitting on top of the key

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

[BUG: Wow. To be a real Starship Ranger... it'd be the greatest thing in the world!]
[PINCER: It would, wouldn't it? A bug in a human body. You could be the link between our kind and their's.]
[BUG: But do I even have what---]
[PINCER: Shhhhhhhh---]

MOSQUITOS BROTHERS:
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

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

SWEETHEART
Have a cigar

VEETO:
A glass a' scotch
When opportunity knocks at your door
You let him in and then ya settle the score

PINCER:
Life is short so
Before it's over

PINCER & MOSQUITO BROS:
Take a chance and think it through

PINCER:
You'd better
Kick it up a notch
It's the human thing to do....

So 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!

[PINCER: So here's your choice Bug. You can go on leading your meaningless existence, or you could take everything you've ever wanted. All I ask is that when you befriend the humans, you bring them to me. What do you say?]
[BUG: I...I...]

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

[PINCER: "that's the spirit!"
Kick em all straight in the crotch!]
[BUG: "yeah!"]

BUG & PINCER: who are they to deprive Us of wantin to

PINCER:
Kick it up a notch

Never give yourself a reason to doubt
You gotta strike it while it's hot
Cause that's what living is all about

BUG: (same time) I'm gonna be a Starship Ranger!

PINCER:
My dear Bug, it's time the lights went OUT!!!

[BUG: Well see you on the other side, Pincer. I love you!]
[PINCER: I love you too, Bug.]
[VEETO: I know that we're suckers, but that guy's a sucker!]
[PINCER: Yes! What a dumbass. Break out the good china-boys. Tonight we dine again!]

PINCER:
Kick it up a notch
OH my plan is all about to unfold
Lets put a twist into this plot!
Bug, go fourth, do everything that I've told ya

PINCER & MOSQUITO BROS:
When we kick it up a notch

MOSQUITO BROS:
It's blood for us!

PINCER:
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'll need it warm and fresh
OH, Pincer you're in for a treat

Let's kick it up a notch

So at last
I'll have
Human meat!!!!
