This is what you give me to work with
Well honey, I've seen worse
We're going to turn this sow's ear into a silk purse
We'll have you washed and dried
Primped and polished till you glow with pride
Trust my recipe for instant bride
You'll bring honor to us all
Mulan what's this?
Ehh... notes. In case I forget something.
Here hold this. We'll need more luck than I thought.
Wait and see, when we're through
Boys will gladly go to war for you
With great fortune (and a great hairdo)
You'll bring honor to us all
A girl can bring her family
Great honor in one way
By striking a good match
And this could be that day
Men want girls with good taste
Calm, obedient, who work fast paced
With good breeding and a tiny waist
You'll bring honor to us all
We all must serve our Emperor who guards us from the Huns
A man by bearing arms
A girl by bearing sons
When we're through,
You can't fail
Like a lotus blossom soft and pale
How could any fellow say no sale
You'll bring honor to us all
There, you're ready
An apple for serenity
Beads of jade for beauty
You must proudly show it
Now add a cricket, just for luck
And even *you* can't blow it.
Ancestors, hear my plea
Help me not to make a fool of me
And not uproot my family tree
Keep my father standing tall
Scarier than the undertaker
We are meeting our matchmaker
Destiny, Guard our girls
And their future as it fast unfurls
Please look kindly on these cultured pearls
Each a perfect porcelain doll
Please bring honor to us--
Please bring honor to us--
Please bring honor to us--
Please bring honor to us--
Please bring honor to us all!
