Lyrics
All right! You know, it is funny because I'm so used to-
Always-, my key is always higher than the actors' who do, like, my songs
I can't believe-
You have a high voice
But you-, you actually do the song-, I do it in A, erm, in C, right?
Yeah
You do it in what?
In D
Unbelievable (a step up)
My ego has just shattered everything
You wanna try it?
Let's do it!
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 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
Cool! Good!
Yeah
Okay, five!
I gotta take it in D from now on
