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've 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 good-bye to those who knew me
Ling: Boy I was 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!

(Be a man)
You 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)
You 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

(We are men)
We must be swift as the coursing river
(We are men)
With all the force of a great typhoon
(We are men)
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon!
