"I'll Make a Man of You" is a World War I recruiting song that was sung across Britain in hopes of rallying young men to enlist in the military.

It is sung from a flirtatious young woman's perspective of how she dates military men in order to turn them into better soldiers.

On Sunday I walk out with a Soldier Monday I'm taken by a Tar Tuesday I'm out with a baby Boy Scout On Wednesday a Hussar On Thursday I gang out wi' a Scottie On Friday the Captain of the crew But on Saturday I'm willing if you'll only take the shilling To make a man of any one of you.

I teach the tenderfoot to face the powder That gives an added lustre to my skin And I show the raw recruit how to give a chaste salute So when I'm presenting arms, he's falling in It makes you almost proud to be a woman When you make a strapping soldier of a kid And he says, "You put me through it and I didn't want to do it But you went and made me love you, so I did!"

On Sunday I walk out with a Bosun On Monday a Rifleman in green On Tuesday I choose a Sub in the Blues On Wednesday a Marine On Thursday a Terrier from Tooting On Friday a Midshipman or two But on Saturday I'm willing if you'll only take the shilling To make a man of any one of you!
