Clay Aiken – “I’ll Do My Best, What Else Can I Do?”

I was looking for a picture in my photobucket account.  BIG MISTAKE!!  What should have taken a few minutes ended up taking up much to much time.   I should have been doing something else but I got hooked! I would imagine that has happened to many of us…………But……………..I did find some great pictures that reminded me of  Clay Aiken in September, 2004.    Clay sang a special song for the  Special Disney DVD of Aladdin.   Proud of Your Boy has become one of my favorite Disney songs.  I hope you don’t mind me sharing with  you!

“Proud Of Your Boy”

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

  1. Love the song, "Proud of Your Boy". Love the guy who who sings it.

    One of the things I love about Clay, he always does his best. Always puts his all into everything he does, whether it be in relation to his music, public appearances or philanthropy. I can always count on being entertained or emotionally touched.

  2. Loved watching this video of Proud of Your Boy. Clay Aiken does a fantastic version of it.
    I've never seen a couple of those pictures before…Thanks CANN.

    It's hard to believe that it's been almost 6 years ago now….Eeeeekk! Where does the time go…and Clay just keeps getting better and better…. Let's hope that one day Clay gets to sing a fantastic song for a movie….I'm sure that will happen down the road….

    Hugs,

  4. I love that song "Proud of your Boy." I just watched that video again on my Alladin DVD. I actually only bought it way back when because it had Clay singing that song.
