I’ll Make a Man Out of You Lyrics
Shang: 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 on 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
Chien Po:I’m never gonna catch my breath
Yao:Say goodbye to those who knew me
Ling:Boy, was I fool in school for cutting gym
Mushu: [spoken] This guy’s got ’em scared to death
Mulan:Hope he doesn’t see right through me
Chien Po:Now I really wish that I knew how to swim
Chorus:(Be a man)
Shang:We must be swift as the coursing river
Chorus:(Be a man)
Shang:With all the force of a great typhoon
Chorus:(Be a man)
Shang: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?
Chorus:(Be a man)
Shang:We must be swift as the coursing river
Chorus:(Be a man)
Shang:With all the force of a great typhoon
Chorus:(Be a man)
Shang and Chorus:With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
Chorus:(Be a man)
Shang:We must be swift as the coursing river
Chorus:(Be a man)
Shang:With all the force of a great typhoon
Chorus:(Be a man)
Shang and Chorus:With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
