[Prioritize vocal leads according to Lyric tags] [Verse 1] [VOCALS: female lead] You wrinkle your nose at the bakery case, [VOCALS: female lead] Like courage comes only in barbecue glaze. [VOCALS: female lead] You order your steak with a thunderous speech —[VOCAL: End female Lead] [VOCALS: male lead] Real men don’t eat keesh. [VOCALS: male lead] It’s eggs in a pie. That’s a culinary breach. [VOCAL: End male Lead] [VOCALS: female lead] Oh honey, please. [VOCAL: End female Lead] [Verse 2] [VOCALS: male lead] I build with my hands. I split my own wood. [VOCALS: male lead] I parallel park like a champion should. [VOCALS: male lead] I’ve wrestled with deadlines and fixed every leak — [VOCALS: male lead] But yes, I draw lines at keesh. [VOCAL: End male Lead] [VOCALS: female lead] Such fragile mystique. [Pre-Chorus] [VOCALS: female lead] Is your bravery butter-based? [VOCAL: End female Lead] [VOCALS: male lead] It’s a texture thing, let’s keep it chaste. [VOCAL: End male Lead] [VOCALS: female lead] Afraid of a crust that’s tender and sleek?[VOCAL: End female Lead] [VOCALS: male lead] I’m not afraid — I just don’t eat keesh. [VOCAL: End male Lead] [Chorus] [VOCALS: female lead] Real men don’t eat keesh, you say with a grin, [VOCALS: female lead] As if strength can be measured by what you won’t let in. [VOCAL: End female Lead] [VOCALS: male lead] If courage dissolves in a custard and leek, [VOCALS: male lead] Then pass me a fork — [VOCALS: male lead] Let’s rewrite the myth this week. [VOCAL: End male Lead] [VOCALS: female lead] Real men don’t eat keesh? [VOCALS: female lead] Oh darling, that’s rich. [VOCALS: female lead] Strength isn’t brittle — [VOCALS: female lead] It bends without a twitch. [Verse 3] [VOCALS: female lead] You hold every door, you steady the storm, [VOCALS: female lead] You carry the weight when the weather’s not warm. [VOCALS: female lead] But heaven forbid that your palate should reach [VOCALS: female lead] Beyond your decree against keesh. [VOCAL: End female Lead] [VOCALS: male lead] It looks… suspiciously French. [Bridge] [VOCALS: male lead] What if I tried just a bite? [VOCAL: End male Lead] [VOCALS: female lead] What if you liked what you find? [VOCAL: End female Lead] [VOCALS: male lead] What if the world didn’t crack? [VOCAL: End male Lead] [VOCALS: female lead] What if you loosened your mind? [VOCAL: End female Lead] [VOCALS: male lead] Maybe the bravest of feats Is tasting the thing that defeats [VOCAL: End male Lead] [VOCALS: female lead] The script that we learned at the table —[VOCAL: End female Lead] [VOCALS: male lead] Who said strength must be meat? [Final Chorus] [VOCALS: male lead] Real men don’t eat keesh? [VOCALS: male lead] Then what have they missed? [VOCALS: male lead] A little surrender [VOCALS: male lead] On a porcelain dish. [VOCALS: male lead] Real men don’t eat keesh? [VOCALS: male lead] We’ll see about that. [VOCALS: male lead] Pass me the slice — [VOCALS: male lead] And the courage to laugh. [VOCAL: End male Lead] [Tag – Spoken Outro] [VOCALS: female lead] It’s just eggs. [VOCAL: End female Lead] [VOCALS: male lead] …It’s still suspicious. [VOCALS: male lead] Real men don’t eat keesh. [VOCAL: End female Lead]
