I’ll Make a Man Out of You (Mulan) Let’s get down to business To defeat the Huns Did they sent me daughters When I asked for sons You’re the saddest bunch I ever met But you can bet before we’re through Mister, I’ll make a man out of you Tranquil as a forest But on fire within Once you find your centre You are sure to win You’re a spineless, pale, pathetic lot And you haven’t got a clue Somehow I’ll make a man out of you I’m never gonna catch my breath Say goodbye to those who know me Boy was I a fool in school for cutting gym This guy’s got them scared to death Hope he doesn’t see right through me Now I really wish that I knew how to swim (Be a man) We must be swift as the coursing river (Be a man) With all the force of a great typhoon (Be a man) With all the strength of a raging fire Mysterious as the dark side of the moon Time is racing toward us Till the Huns arrive Heed my every order And you might survive You’re unsuited for the rage of war So pack up, go home, you’re through How could I make a man out of you?
