Let’s get down to business - to fight and win!
Got a lot to teach you, so let’s begin
You come to me mere sixth-graders
But you’ll be Greeks before we’re through
Because I’ll make Spartans out of you

Strong and fearsome warriors, just as sly as snakes
Sneaky, clever Spartans – suck-ups are mistakes!
You could be weak, perhaps undisciplined
Or you might just not have a clue
Still I WILL make Spartans out of you

“So scared, I can’t catch my breath!”
“Don’t wanna betray those who knew me”
“Crap, what can I do? I always cut gym!”

Hold on! Play to your strengths!
“You can cheat, ‘cause they’ll see through me!”
“I’ll be the brains, you be the brawn!” “We’ll win!”

(Be Spartans!)
You must be swift as the hunter, Artemis
(Be Spartans!)
With all the force of the monster, Typhon
(Be Spartans!)
Sly and cunning, like trickster Hermes
Tell the rest of Greece to bring it on!

Time is racing toward us ‘til this chapter’s done
The lesson is a game now, so let’s have some fun!
Spartans are made for Olympic war
Let’s show ‘em just what we can do
I’m sure I’ve made Spartans of you!

(Be Spartans!)
You must be swift as the hunter, Artemis
(Be Spartans!)
With all the force of the monster, Typhon
(Be Spartans!)
Sly and cunning, like trickster Hermes
Tell the rest of Greece to bring it on!

(We’re Spartans!)
You must be swift as the hunter, Artemis
(We’re Spartans!)
With all the force of the monster, Typhon
(We’re Spartans!)
Sly and cunning, like trickster Hermes
Tell the rest of Greece to bring it on!
Every year, when my dad teaches Greece, they divide the classes into five polises from ancient Greece. I ALWAYS root for Sparta. I'm not sure how that tradition started, but I always do. And Sparta really seemed to be in the lead, and I was planning on providing the entertainment at the victory party, so I thought a Sparta-themed parody would be perfect. So this is my Spartan parody of "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Mulan. I'm actually pretty proud of it, I think it came out well.
The only fly in the soup is that Argos pulled a stunning 11th hour victory, so I won't be performing it this year. Argos is awesome too, I just have to write a new parody by Friday. Oy. I have an idea though...
