"This next song is a popular 80s hit and is the theme song to the film Rocky III," said Dewey. The kids began to play the long intro of "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor as Zack began to play the riff. After the intro, Dewey began to sing the first verse.
Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
The girls joined the chorus.
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the channges of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger
They did an instrumental break and the second verse began.
Face to face, out in the heat
Hanging tough, staying hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
The girls sang the chorus with Dewey again, then another instrumental break happened, then the third verse began.
Rising up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not going to stop
Just a man and his will to survive
The girls sang the chorus one more time, then Dewey sang the outro, singing "The eye of the tiger" four times as the song ended and the audience applauded.
