What Kind of Man R U Gonna Be? Lyrics by Shaina Taub

Twelfth Night (Original Public Works Cast Recording)

2018

[TOBY]
Boy, the gauntlet has been thrown
You've been challenged to a fight
This brother’s out for blood
[VIOLA]
Who wants to fight me? Why? You've got the wrong guy
[TOBY]
He thinks that you've been talking smack
Behind his tattooed, muscled back
Now he’s gonna make you pay
[VIOLA]
What kinda man is he anyway?
[TOBY]
He's the most wanted killer in Illyria
And he's here to break your neck
[VIOLA, spoken]
I've gotta have a thing, gotta go, rain check?
[TOBY]
Stop being such a girl and ask yourself
[Chorus]
What kinda man are you gonna be?
What kinda man are you gonna be?
Are you gonna run, run away
Or are you gonna save the day?
What kinda man are you gonna be?
What kinda man are you gonna be?
Are you gonna freeze or take flight
Or are you man enough to fight?
Whoa, ay-oh-oh, oh-oh
Whoa, ay-oh-oh, oh-oh
Whoa, ay-oh-oh, oh-oh
[TOBY]
This kid is not messing around
He nearly bit my ear off
[ANDREW]
What!?
[TOBY]
He's a black belt of the highest rank
[ANDREW, spoken]
Uhm, nope, never mind, no thanks
[TOBY]
It's too late now, he's coming soon
To have his deadly way with you
I tried to talk him down
But he threw me to the ground
[ANDREW]
I don't stand a chance, I don’t wanna die
[TOBY]
Come on and put on your big boy pants and decide
[Chorus]
What kinda man are you gonna be?
What kinda man are you gonna be?
Are you gonna run, run away
Or are you gonna save the day?
What kinda man are you gonna be?
What kinda man are you gonna be?
Are you gonna freeze or take flight
Or are you man enough to fight?
Whoa, ay-oh-oh, oh-oh
Whoa, ay-oh-oh, oh-oh
Whoa, ay-oh-oh, oh-oh
[VIOLA]
What kinda man am I gonna be?
If I fight him, he’ll find out I'm no kind of man today
If I don’t he'll think I'm not much of a man anyway
My brother is the one who could throw a punch
I was the wimpy kid who sat alone at lunch
But hey, if these pants have made me a lover
Maybe these gloves can make me a fighter
They all think I'm man enough to fight
[ANDREW]
Stay calm, stay calm
[VIOLA]
Oh, disguise
[ANDREW]
I miss my mom
[VIOLA]
Could they be right?
[ANDREW]
I’m not this type of knight
[VIOLA & ANDREW]
What kinda man am I?
What kinda man is he?
What kinda man am I supposed to be?
[TOBY (ILLYRIANS)]
Moment of truth, my men (Moment of truth, my men)
Push has come to shove (Push has come to shove)
Say a prayer, hold up your glove
Nowhere to run, so tell me, son
[TOBY & ILLYRIANS (VIOLA & ANDREW)]
What kinda man are you gonna be? (I'm gonna be)
What kinda man are you gonna be? (I'm gonna be)
What kinda man are you gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be?
