Be a Man Lyrics by Jai Rodriguez, Zanna Don’t Ensemble

Zanna, Don’t!

2003

[ZANNA, (ENSEMBLE)]
Back in the times of Ancient Greece
The Spartans lived a dream
Thousands of manly soldiers
Just as far as the eye could see
No one could destroy them
Because they all lived as one
Manly soldiers, sweating manly in the sun
They would destroy all the enemy
And when the day was done
They would gather in their tent for love
(Love, love, love, love, love)
That's how they won!
[ALL]
Join the Army
Join the Air Force
Join the Coast Guard
Join the Marines
Work together
Sweat together
Shower together
That's how it should be
[ZANNA, BUCK, LADIES]
Alexander the Great
You can be sure he wasn't straight
He was a man
That's right, got no business with a wife!
Leonardo da Vinci
He made such wicked killing machines
'cause he was a man
Way to go, Leonardo!
[ZANNA, ENSEMBLE]
Frederick the Great
You know he made the Prussian State
Out of nothing
How'd he do it?
By being a man
ZANNA: Oh, Mishima
And Lawrence of Arabia!
Will we ever see such men again?
Yes, sir!
[ENSEMBLE, (ZANNA)]
Join the Army, (Be a man)
Join the Air Force, (Be a man)
Join the Coast Guard, (Be a man)
Join the Marines. (Be a man)
Work together. (Be a man)
Sweat together. (Be a man)
Shower together. (Be a man)
That's how it should be. (Be a man)
[ZANNA, STEVE (spoken)]
Drop and give me ten, soldier. You're looking weak, soldier
Have you been sleeping with women?
No, sir!
I bet your daddy slept with women
That make you mad, soldier?
Well, it sure makes me mad that they're gonna let them heteros into this man's army
Present arms!
[ZANNA, ENSEMBLE]
I don't know what you've been told
I don't know what you've been told
Can't win a war with heteros
Can't win a war with heteros
Hey
Hey
Ho
Ho
Hey
Hey
Ho
Ho
Ho-o-o... Somebody say Ho
Ho
Somebody say Mo
Mo
Somebody say Ho
Ho
Mo
Mo
HO-MO
[ENSEMBLE, (ZANNA)]
Join the Army, (Be a maaaaaaaaan)
Join the Air Force
Join the Coast Guard
Join the Marines
Work together. (Be a man)
Sweat together. (Be a man)
Shower together. (Be a man)
That's how it should be. (Oh-ho-ho)
[ZANNA, (ENSEMBLE), ALL]
Be a ma-an (Be a man)
Oh, be a ma-an (Be a man)
Oh, be a ma-an (Be a man)
Oh, be a ma-an (Be a man)
Oh, be a man (Be a man)
Oh, be a man (Be a man)
Oh, be a ma-a-an (Be a man)
Oh be a maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan (Be a man, be a man, be a man)
Oh be a man!
