Lyrics
Li Shang :Let's get down to businessTo 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 manout of you Tranquil as a forestBut 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


 * Shang and Chorus: (To Be a man)
 * We must be swift as the coursing river
 * (To Be a man)
 * With all the force of a great typhoon
 * (To 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 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?
 * Shang and Chorus: (To Be a man)
 * We must be swift as the coursing river
 * (To Be a man)
 * With all the force of a great typhoon
 * (To Be a man)
 * With all the strength of a raging fire
 * Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
 * (To Be a man)
 * We must be swift as the coursing river
 * (To Be a man)
 * With all the force of a great typhoon
 * (To Be a man)
 * With all the strength of a raging fire
 * Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

Reprise

 * (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
