  • 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

    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

    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 '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?

    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

    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 Writer/s: David Zippel, Matthew Wilder
