Up Here Cast
Tiger Shark
(Verse 1)
[ORSON]
You're not the boy who didn't belong in the schoolyard world
You don't get pushed around anymore and you never will
No more Mister Nice Guy, gotta be tough in this cruel hard world
And you're not gonna cry the next time you watch Notting Hill

(Pre-Chorus)
It's time to wake up, boy, and put your armor on
That pathetic little pussy with the ring is gone

(Chorus)
You're a tiger, let me hear you roar
You're a shark hunting in the shallows by the shore
Let me see your claws, let me see your teeth
Let your fin emerge from the depths beneath
Let me see you stop your prey in the dark
Like a tiger or a shark or a tiger shark

(Verse 2)
[MIGUEL]
I'm not the bullied brown boy in his all-white school
I'm not the kid who felt too white when he moved to Queens

[ORSON]
Goodbye Mister Piano Tie 'cause you thought Billy Joel was cool
You're a man who will become a man of means
(Pre-Chorus)
You're an alpha dog, you're the fighting champ
Not the kid who kept crying in that computer camp
For someone soft and sensitive this world is less than fair
You gotta pay to play, you gotta make your way like Jane fucking Eyre

(Dance break)

(Chorus)
[MIGUEL]
I'm a tiger!

[ORSON]
Tiger, let me hear you roar

[MIGUEL]
Hear me roar!

[ORSON]
You're a shark

[MIGUEL]
Oh, yeah!

[BOTH]
More ancient than any dinosaur
[ORSON]
Flash your cool ID

[MIGUEL]
And my corporate suit

[BOTH]
And use your electromagnetic snoot
To make a ton of dough and bro, just wait
A female tiger shark might wanna mate
