(Mii hi hi hi hi hyike!)
(So ya figured it out, did ya?)
(Mee-yike, that's right!)
(There's only one real Mike)
(And that's me!)
Come in, shake my hand, except don't
Yous got a lotta nerve
To come this way and bust backstage
When you meddle with the microphone
You're gonna find this line-in
Raising gain and bringing pain!
On in five, quiet on the set!
New design gonna get ahead
Going live, and I'm gonna bet
You'll be feeling blue, yet-
I'm still talkin', mouth is on a roll
A snowball outta control
My sound waves cross your radio!
Mike check, one, two, gonna tell ya that
I'm the one who's pullin' the strings
So Tenna can keep on doin' his thing
Recording, on air, we're live
I don't jive with interruptions!
If yous ain't Mike, you better set out, get out!
This gig's already stressful
So don't contest with this condenser!
I'm the one who's turnin' the gears
So Tenna and co have nothing to fear
So lend me an ear
You're background noise, you're a disruption!
You better turn around and beat it, bub!
Yea, don't mess with the master
Or you'll snowball to disaster!
Yeah, that's right! It's me! Motormouth Mike!
Who never stops talking!
Not even in the instrumental break!
It's me, the one who keeps our wheels turning
And you? You're the worst
Your interruption's got me burning
So now I bring the hertz
I'm the one who's hitting record
So Tenna and co. make sure you're not bored
I bring up the boards, and hear the roar
There's nothing we lack!
But yous ain't Mike, so you don't belong
You're wrong!
Proof of all your theories
Stands before you, clearly!
I'm the one who's patching us in
'Cause Tenna can keep a shine and a grin
Well here's where I've been
Just waiting for a bit of feedback!
And in Mike's private quarters
I'm still standing!
Fabulous, dynamic
In demand and goin' manic!
(Huff, puff)
(I think Mike needs a little break)
(I'll be back, in a sec)
What's this? Well, don't look so surprised!
I mighta changed my outfit
'Cause you're givin' so much stress!
Now hear! Here, right before your eyes
It's Mike, the famously verbose
And he's dressed to compress!
Motormouth, you can't tune me out!
Like room noise floating all about!
Settlin' Tenna's whole account
Mike all day, Mike all night!
Recording everything we say
Even what never leaves the brain
Now then, Mike, take it away!
Mike check, one, two, go on, tell 'em!
(All right, that's enough already)
(I'm not feeling quite myself)
(I think I really need to take a break)
(I said, I think Mike really needs to take a break!)
Here comes the Mike, 'cause that's, uh, my name!
And I'm, uh, da best
I'm still Mike, that's me, that's the same
Uh, what does Mike say next?
(Just go to the chorus!)
I'm the one who's pullin' the strings
So Tenna can, uh, do the thing
Hey, boss, how do youse sing so fast
Without interruptions?
If youse ain't Mike, youse better, er
Scram!
This gig's already stressful
Hey, isn't this a near rhyme-
(Oh, give me that!)
I'm the one who's turnin' the gears
So Tenna and co. Have nothing to fear
So lend me an ear
You're background noise, you're a disruption!
You better turn around and beat it, bub!
(Did you even rehearse this?)
(I mean, look at all the lines you missed!)
(Ah, sorry, boss!)
(Alright, that's it!)
(Look, I admit it! There's more than one Mike! More than one!)
(But we can't let this get out)
(If people knew there was more than one Mike,)
(Everybody would want to be Mike!)
(Well, we're not letting that happen!)
Boys, time for the last chorus!
We're the ones who're taking our place
So Tenna can have a smile on his face
While crackin' the case of who the hell
This freakin' Mike is!
If you ain't Mike and we ain't Mike
Then what could be the one true answer?
Think it could be Lancer?
No!
We're the ones who put on a show
And Tenna is never going to know
That Mike is a phony
But at least we can act like it!
Maybe the real Mike was always inside us
We was Mike the whole time
Hold it, 'cause we're on live!
'Cause we're Mike
And who knows if that's still true?
And we're on in two
So what else is there we can do?
