I’ll Make a Man Outta You (Mulan’s Villain Song) lyrics

[Intro (spoken): Mulan, soldier, all soldiers]
Prepare a garrison and send a falcon to the opposition
Yes, ma'am!
The least we could do is give them a warning...

I feel we could use a pep talk before leaving, so here's a rendition of one used by our dear, dear friend...
Shang...

*groan*

[Verse 1: Mulan]
Let's get down to business
To defeat the huns
(So dumb...)
Did they send me daughters
When I asked for sons?
(*cough* misogynist...)

You're the saddest bunch I ever met
But you can bеt before we'rе through
Mister, I'll make a man outta you...

(God, what did I see in him?)

[Verse 2: Mulan]
Pious, cool, collected
But a snake within, oh, woah
Once you find his weakness
We are sure to win
[Pre-Chorus 1: Mulan]
This man's debts are finally due
Time to pay the cost of treachery!
Boy, was I a fool, naive for trusting you!

Now look what you've made me do
See what you've turned me into!
My final act is here and then we're through!

[Chorus: Mulan, Soldiers]
(Down with Shang!)
You must be sharp as a striking viper!
(Down with Shang!)
With all the might of a great Monsoon!
(Down with Shang!)
With all the stealth of a stalking tiger!
Prepare weapons, for our war is coming soon...

[Verse 3: Mulan]
Dreamed to serve my country
But it turned its back
Seemed I wasn't welcome
And I'm thankful for that

It let me know what my true calling was:
To see you dead, this empire through
I'll lose me but I'm taking you too...
[Interlude (spoken): Mulan, soldiers]
This is it
Before me I see a strong and vicious army full of men and women
Will you fight for me?
*cheer*
Most of you won't make it, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make- Down with Shang!

Down with Shang!

[Bridge: Mulan]
And now this farce is ended
We've sacrificed too much to turn back now
You've come this far- defend it!
They've been in charge too long and now they'll bow!

[Chorus: Mulan, Soldiers]
(Down with Shang!)
You must be sharp as a striking viper!
(Down with Shang!)
With all the might of a great Monsoon!
(Down with Shang!)
With all the stealth of a stalking tiger!
Prepare weapons, for our war is coming-

[Post-Chorus: Mulan]
I'm made anew rising from the fire!
Forged from the hate of the girl you knew!
She's burned to ash, left up on the pyre!
Mysterious as the dark side of-
Now you'll really know the dark side of...!
...The moon!
