Aladdin - Proud Of Your Boy

Proud of your boy


I'll make you proud of your boy


Believe me, bad as I've been, Ma


You're in for a pleasant surprise



I've wasted time


I've wasted me


So say I'm slow for my age


A late bloomer, Okay, I agree



That I've been one rotten kid


Some son, some pride and some joy


But I'll get over these lousin' up


Messin' up, screwin' up times



You'll see, Ma, now comes the better part


Someone's gonna make good


Cross his stupid heart


Make good and finally make you


Proud of your boy



Tell me that I've been a louse and loafer


You won't get a fight here, no ma'am


Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good


But that couldn't be all that I am



Water flows under the bridge


Let it pass, let it go


There's no good reason that you should believe me


Not yet, I know, but



Someday and soon


I'll make you proud of your boy


Though I can't make myself taller


Or smartter or handsome or wise



I'll do my best, what else can I do ?


Since I wasn't born perfect like Dad or you


Mom, I will try to


Try hard to make you


Proud of your boy
