I'll Make a Man Out of You lyrics

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 ever met

but you can bet before we're through

mister, I'll make a man out of you!

Tranquil as a forest

but a fire within

once you find your center

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 knew me

boy was I a fool in school for cutting gym

this guy's got 'em scared to death

hope he doesn't see right through me

now I really wish that I knew how to swim

Chorus

Be a man

we must be swift as a coursing river

Be a man

with all the force of a great typhoon

Be a man

with all the strength as a raging fire

mysterious as the dark side of the moon

Time is racing t'ward us

till the huns arrive

heed my every order

and you might survive

you're not suited for the rage of war

so pack up, go home, you're through

how could I make a man out of you?

Chorus
