Add two eyes and a nose and my boy, that is only the beginning

Hmmmm... What are you saying? You become a Starship Ranger? Me, but-?
Em
Now listen to me, my confused little friend. We are friends, after all. 
Em                     Eb5   Em
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!

If your life is at a level too low

There’s no attempt, that you can botch
                   C                    A
When all you gotta do is just give it a go

Em                                           Eb5 
It would, wouldn't it? A bug in a human body.        
                                  Em
You could be the link between our race and theirs.

Em           B7 
Kick it up a notch

What’s the point of less when there’s more?

Have a cigar a glass of Scotch
          C                     A7
When opportunity knocks on your door

You let him in and then ya settle the score!

You better kick it up a notch
