I Can Make You A Man
Tim Curry/Transylvanians/Richard O'Brien/Patricia Quinn/Nell Campbell Lyrics

A weakling weighing ninety-eight pounds
A frail and feeble individual weighing only ninety-eight pounds

Will get sand in his face
Easily defeated by others, especially in physical confrontations

When kicked to the ground
When knocked down or taken down by force

And soon in the gym
Afterwards, he would go to the gym to work out

With a determined chin
With a resolute expression and attitude

The sweat from his pores
Sweating profusely due to physical exertion

As he works for his cause
As he exercises to achieve his goal

Will make him glisten
Will cause him to shine or sparkle due to sweat

And gleam
Will cause him to shine or sparkle due to sweat

And with massage
And with the use of physical massage techniques

And just a little bit of steam, haha
And with some steam or heat, as a humorous addition

He'll be pink and quite clean
He will become pink from the massage and clean from the steam

He'll be a strong man
He will become a physically strong individual

Oh, honey, but the wrong man
Unfortunately, he is not the right person for the intentions of the singer

He'll eat nutritious, high protein
He will consume healthy foods with high levels of protein

And swallow raw eggs
He will ingest uncooked eggs

Try to build up his shoulders
Attempt to create muscle mass in the shoulders

His chest, arms, and legs
His upper body, specifically chest and arms, as well as his legs

Such an effort
A significant amount of exertion and hard work

If he only knew of my plan
If he was aware of the intentions of the artist

In just seven days
Within a week's time

I can make you a man
I can transform him into a stronger and more confident individual

He'll do press-ups and chin-ups
He will perform various exercises to increase muscle mass

Do the snatch, clean, and jerk
He will do powerlifting techniques like 'snatch', 'clean' and 'jerk'

He thinks dynamic tension
He believes in the effectiveness of dynamic tension as a method for building muscle mass

Must be hard work
He perceives dynamic tension as a difficult and demanding approach to physical fitness

Such strenuous living
Such a rigorous and grueling lifestyle

I just don't understand
The artist does not comprehend his effort and approach

When in just seven days
When in a week's time

Oh, baby, I can make you a man
The singer can transform him into a stronger and more confident individual
