I'll make a man out of you (Mulán)
Let's get down to business
to defeat the Huns
did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?
You're the saddest bunch I've never met
But you can bet before we're through
mister, I'll make a man out of you.
Tranquil as aforest, but on fire within
once you find your center you are sure to win
you're 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 good-bye to those who knew me,
boy, was I a fool cutting gym,
This guy's got 'em scared to death,
Hope he doesn't see right through me,
Now I really wish I knew how to swim,
(Chorus)
(be a man)
we must be swift as the coursing river
(be a man)
with all the force of the 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 'til the Huns arrive,
heed me every order and you might survive
You're unsuited for the rage of war
So pack up, go home you through How could I make a man out of you?
(Chorus twice)
