lyrics

[Seth Swift & Ian Hernandez]
Try to be best
‘Cause you’re only a man
And a man’s gotta learn to take it (wait, what?)
Try to believe
Though the going gets rough
That you gotta hang tough to make it

History repeats itself
Try and you’ll succeed
Never doubt that you’re the one
And you can have your dreams!

You’re The Best! Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re The Best! Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re The Best! Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you dow-ow-ow-ow-own

Fight ‘til the end
Cause your life will depend
On the strength that you have inside you
Ah you gotta be proud
Starin’ out in the cloud
When the odds in the game defy you

Try your best to win them all
And one day time will tell
When you’re the one that’s standing there
You’ll reach the final bell!

You’re The Best! Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re The Best! Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re The Best! Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you dow-ow-ow-ho-how-ho-own

[Tim Stiles]
You’re The Best, The Brightest
Far left of the rightest
Fearless and fright-less
Never slept in the slightest

Guard alert, hard at work
In the land of the giants
Towering over the ficus trees
Dredging detritus

When you spread your wings
Even cranes seem flightless
You could be blind in both eyes
And never short-sighted

Anyone who steps
Gets legs swept in the crisis
They oughta hire a stylist
And call you, 'Your Highness'

[Seth Swift & Ian Hernandez]
You’re The Best! Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re The Best! Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re The Best! Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you dow-ow-ow-ow-own

Fight ‘til you drop
Never stop, can’t give up
Til you reach the top
You’re the best in town
Listen to that sound
A little bit of all you got
Can never bring you down

You’re The Best! Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re the Best! Around!
