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!!!!
