Gonna make a man out of you
Gonna make a man out of you
Gonna make a man out of you
I'm gonna make a man out of you
I'm gonna make a man out of you
I'm gonna make a man out of you
If it's the last thing I ever do
I'm gonna make a man out of you

He said, "Don't open that box, it's full of tears
A lot of heavy stuff from my fighting years"
So I opened the box and he boxed my ears
I'm gonna make a man out of you
My ears were ringing, I started to cry
I remember thinking, "Who is this guy?"
Said "I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try
Gonna make a man out of you"

I'm gonna make a man out of you
I'm gonna make a man out of you
Well, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna make a man out of you

'Cause I'm on shifts I can't sleep
I got problems every day of the week
And you're right up there at the top of the heap
I'm gonna make a man out of you
A Tea War gift, a post-war pest
I could smell the medals on his chest
It's like livin' with a traffic light stuck on red
Gonna make a man out of you

I said I'm gonna make a man out of you
I'm gonna make a man out of you
If that's the last thing I ever do
I'm gonna make a man out of you
But I said

No hard feelings, no hard feelings
No hard feelings, no hard feelings, yeah

I'm gonna make a man out of you
I'm gonna make a man out of you
If that's the last thing I ever do
I'm gonna make a man out of you

When I was down, out on the skids
You were there with your obnoxious kid
I will always remember what you did
Trying to make a man out of me
It wasn't exactly Custer's last stand
But I shed a tear about the battle lands
Fifteen mile from where it all began
Gonna make a man out of you

Said I'm gonna make a man out of you
I'm gonna make a man out of you
And that's the last thing I ever do
I'm gonna make a man out of you
But I said

No hard feelings, no hard feelings
No hard feelings, no hard feelings
No hard feelings, no hard feelings
No hard feelings, no hard feelings
