I'll Make A Man Out of You
Lead Singer: Matrix (Orginal: Donny Osmond, singing for Shang)
Chorus: Various Binomes (Orginal: Yan, Ling, Shin Po and other recruits)
Mushu's part: Bob
Mulan's part: A "1" bimome
Mainframe is preparing for war against Deamon, who is being compared to the Huns. Matrix is in charge of training the binomes to fight. They seem to be a pretty hopeless lot, but Matrix will do his best.
Matrix, reviewing his unlikely army:
Let's get down to business--
To defeat the Huns.
(Matrix paces, inspecting his troops.)
Did they send me daughters
When I asked for sons?
(He stops pacing to stand before them, growling.)
You're the saddest bunch
I ever met
But you can bet
before we're through
(Matrix gets right into the face of a "1" binome.)
Mister, I'll make a man
Out of you.
(Matrix is demonstrating combat with staves. The "1" binome seems to be having trouble with the lession.)
Tranquil as a forest
But on fire within
Once you find your center
You are sure to win.
(Matrix watches as the binomes attempt to copy his movements, but fail misirably.)
You're a spineless, pale
pathetic lot
And you haven't got a clue
(Matrix get's into the face of that same "1" binome.)
Somehow, I'll make a man out of you.
A "5" binome:
I'm never gonna catch my breath.
A "7" binome:
Say good-bye to those who knew me.
A "9" bimome:
Boy, was I a fool in school for cutting gym.
Bob, watching from the side with Dot and the others:
This guy's got 'em scared to death!
Same "1" bimome:
Hope he doesn't see right through me.
An "0" binome:
Now I really wish that I knew how to swim.
Binome Chorus:
(Be a man)
Matrix:
We must be swift as
the coursing river
Binomes:
(Be a man)
Matrix:
With all the force
of a great typhoon.
Binomes
(Be a man)
Matrix:
With all the strength
of a raging fire
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon.
(The bimomes STILL don't get it.)
Time is racing toward us
till the Huns arrive.
Heed my every order
And you MIGHT survive.
(Again, Matrix gets in the face of that "1" bimome.)
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?
(Matrix goes back to the other binomes. The "1" binome picks up a staff and continues to practice, determined to make the grade.)
Binomes:
(Be a man)
Matrix:
We must be swift as
the coursing river
Binomes:
(Be a man)
Matrix:
With all the force
of a great typhoon
Binomes:
(Be a man)
Matrix:
With all the strength
of a raging fire
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon,
(Matrix and the others notice the "1" binome finally getting it right, moving smoothly. Now the "1" bimome joins Matrix and the others as part of the army. The other bimomes are now getting it right, as well. Matrix is pleased and impressed.)
(Sung without music)
Bimomes:
(Be a man)
Matrix and Bimones:
We must be swift as
the coursing river.
Binomes:
(Be a man)
Matrix and Bimomes:
With all the force
of a great typhoon.
Binomes:
(Be a man)
Matrix and Binomes:
With all the strength
of a raging fire.
(Add music back.)
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon.
