[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 a fool in school for cutting gym

[MUSHU]
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

[SHANG & 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 of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

[SHANG]
Time is racing toward us 'til 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?

[SHANG & 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 of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

(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 of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
