I really love this song. It was a song they were gonna put in the original Disney's Aladdin but they went in a different direction with the story so it got cut. Sung by Clay Aiken.
Ā Proud of your boy (girl)
Iāll make you proud of your boy (girl)
Believe me bad as Iāve been mom
Youāre in for a pleasant surprise
So say Iām slow for my age a late bloomer ok I agree!
Iāve been one rotten kid
Some son (daughter) some pride and some joy
But Iāll get over these lousen up messā in up screwā in up times!
You see mom now comes the better part
Someoneās gonna make good
Someoneās gonna make good and finally make you
Proud of your boy (girl)!
Tell me that Iāve been a louse and a loafer
You wonāt get a fight here no maāam
Say Iām a goldbrick a goof-off no good
But that couldnāt be all that I am
Water flows under the bridge
Thereās not a reason why you should believe me not yet
Iāll make you proud of your boy (girl)
Though I canāt make myself taller or smarter or handsome or wise
Iāll do my best what else can I do?
Since I wasnāt born perfect
Proud of your boy (girl).
