The Renaissance Kid

(Intro - Fast strumming and a kazoo or whistle solo) One, two, one-two-three-four! (Verse 1) There’s a kid named Tian, and he’s hit the big Nine At the Waldorf school where the vibes are fine He doesn't need an iPad to have a blast He’s got beeswax, wool, and he’s moving fast! He might be painting watercolors in the morning light But his brain is doing calculus with all its might. (Chorus) Oh, Tian! He’s the neighborhood king He can calculate the area of *anything*! With a punch needle gripped in his left hand And a chess piece moving across the land. He’s a math-whiz, bike-riding, crafting machine The coolest nine-year-old you’ve ever seen! Go Tian! (Yeah!) (Verse 2) Now, watch him on his bike, he’s a blur of speed Does he use training wheels? No, there is no need! He’s drifting round the corner, hair in the breeze Solving multiplication problems with total ease. He shouts, "Seven times eight is fifty-six!" While popping a wheelie and doing tricks! (Bridge) Stop! Hammer time? No... Needle time! Now listen close, 'cause this part is funny He’s not playing Fortnite for his pocket money. He grabs some yarn, and he grabs a frame **Punch Needle** is the name of the game! *Poke, poke, pull!* He’s making a rug! Give the kid some yarn and give him a hug. He’s making loops so fluffy and neat Then he runs outside to tear up the street! (Verse 3) He sits at the board with a serious face Checking out the Pawns all over the place. You think you’re gonna win? You think you’re smart? Tian’s about to take your chessboard apart! He uses his math skills to trap your Queen With the most polite Waldorf smile you’ve ever seen. "Checkmate," he says, "and thanks for the game, Now watch me knit a scarf with my middle name!" (Guitar Solo - High energy!) (Chorus) Oh, Tian! He’s the neighborhood king He can calculate the area of *anything*! With a punch needle gripped in his left hand And a chess piece moving across the land. He’s a math-whiz, bike-riding, crafting machine The coolest nine-year-old you’ve ever seen! (Outro) Yeah, Tian. He’s got the logic. He’s got the loops. He’s got the bike speed. (Spoken): Hey Tian, what’s the square root of awesome? (Sung): It’s YOU! Cha-cha-cha!
