Training Montage 2 / Eye of the Tiger Lyrics by Stephen Flaherty

Rocky (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2014

[Ensemble]
Risin' up
Back on the street
Took his time, took his chances
Went the distance, now he's back on his feet
Just a man and his will to survive
[Mickey, spoken]
This ain't about footwork, it's about balance
When you can move without breaking your string, you have balance!
And then Creed's gonna find out, he's fightin' a very dangerous man
[Ensemble]
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
[Mickey, spoken]
Dance, dammit kid, dance!
[Ensemble]
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the
Eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
[Apollo]
I'll be watching him far with thе eye
Of the tigеr
[Ensemble]
Face-to-face
Feelin' the heat
Hanging tough, staying hungry
They stack the odds for a certain defeat
Gotta kill, for the skill to survive
[Mickey, spoken]
And another thing, Rock! No more makin' it with that girlfriend o' yours until after the fight!
Remember, kid- women weaken legs!
[Ensemble]
It's the
Eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
[Apollo]
And he's watching us all (watching us all)
[Adrian, spoken]
That feel better?
[Rocky, spoken]
Yeah, thanks. I'm just sore
I already did fifteen miles this morning
[Adrian, spoken]
You gotta be tired
You wanna go lie down on my bed for a little while?
[Rocky, spoken]
No, I just wanna catch my breath
[Adrian, spoken]
You sure?
[Rocky, spoken]
Hey! There's no foolin' around during training, I gotta stay strong
[Adrian, spoken]
Alright. I'll go make you some eggs
[Rocky, spoken]
Yo Adrian, I'm sorry
Are you mad at me?
[Adrian]
You got a scrunched up shoulder and an aching neck
You're like some beat-up car that's had a minor wreck
I think I gotta be nuts, then I say, what the heck?
'Cause hey...
[Adrian, spoken]
Hey, I'll make you those eggs
Women weaken legs. Boom
[Mickey, spoken]
Surprise- that's our secret weapon, kid
So no public appearances, no talkin' to the press, understand?
[Paulie, spoken]
Welcome to shamrock meatpacking
[Rocky, spoken]
Yo Paulie, what them two doin' here?
[Paulie, spoken]
Oh, I had this great idea, Rock
I'm makin' you into a celebrity on the TV
[Lina Mikenne, spoken]
Lina Mikenne here in a freezing Philadelphia meat locker with heavyweight challenger Rocky Balboa
Where he has come up with a highly original way of training for his title bout
Believe it or not, he punches sides of raw beef!
Can we have a little demonstration for the Philadelphia folks at home?
[Rocky, spoken]
Well, uh, I shouldn't, but yeah, okay
[Jergens, Ensemble]
Risin' up, straight to the top
Got the guts, got the glory
[Jergens, spoken]
Don't get cocky now, just seen Balboa on the TV and he ain't no pushover
[Jergens, Ensemble]
Went the distance, now he ain't gonna stop
But the plan, he's the man, won't survive
[Jergens, spoken]
Next!
[Mickey, spoken]
You're in great shape, kid! No fighter's ever been in better shape
So one last run, and then no more runnin', not even for a goddamn bus
Yeah, one last run
Go again, go Rocky, run!
[Ensemble]
It's the
Eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us, watching us all
It's the
Eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye
Gonna fly
Gonna fly now
Gonna fly
