Mulan movie - Honor to Us All lyrics

rate me

<br>

This is what you give me to work with?<br>

Well, honey, I've seen worse<br>

We're going to turn this sow's ear<br>

into a silk purse <br>

<br>

We'll have you washed and dried<br>

Primped and polished<br>

till you glow with pride<br>

Trust me recipe for instant bride<br>

You'll bring honor to us all <br>

<br>

Wait and see<br>

When we're through<br>

Boys will gladly go to war for you<br>

With good fortune<br>

And a great hairdo<br>

You'll bring honor to us all <br>

<br>

A girl can bring her family<br>

great honor in one way<br>

By striking a good match<br>

And this could be the day<br>

<br>

Men want girls with good taste<br>

Calm<br>

Obediant<br>

Who work fast-paced<br>

With good breeding<br>

And a tiny waist<br>

You'll bring honor to us all <br>

<br>

We all must serve our Emperor<br>

Who guards us from the Huns<br>

A man by bearing arms<br>

A girl by bearing sons <br>

<br>

When we're through<br>

You can't fail<br>

Like a lotus blossom<br>

Soft and pale<br>

How could any fellow<br>

Say "No Sale"<br>

You'll bring honor to us all <br>

<br>

There - you're ready<br>

Not yet<br>

An apple for serenity<br>

A pendant for balance<br>

Beads of jade for beauty<br>

You must proudly show it<br>

Now add a cricket just for luck<br>

And even you can't blow it <br>

<br>

Ancestors<br>

Hear my plea<br>

Help me not to make a<br>

fool of me<br>

And to not uproot<br>

my family tree<br>

Keep my father standing tall <br>

<br>

Scarier than the undertaker<br>

We are meeting our matchmaker<br>

Destiny<br>

Guard our girls<br>

And our future<br>

as it fast unfurls<br>

Please look kindly on<br>

these cultured pearls<br>

Each a perfect porcelain doll <br>

<br>

Please bring honor to us<br>

Please bring honor to us<br>

Please bring honor to us<br>

Please bring honor to us<br>

Please bring honor to us all<br>

<br>
