Lyrics Proud of Your Boy (From the Movie Musical "Aladdin") - Mark Seibert

Proud of you 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 rotton 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, a 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 smarter, 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
