Honor To Us All

Honor To Us All
This is what you give me to work with
Well, honey, Ive seen worse
We are gonna turn this sows ear
Into a silk purse
《花木蘭》
Well have you washed and dried
Primped and polished Til you glow with pride
Trust my recipe for instant bride
Youll bring honor to us all

Wait and see when were through
Boys will gladly go to war for you
With good fortune And a great hairdo
Youll 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 the day
Men want girls with good taste
Calm. Obedient.
Who work fast-paced
With good breeding
And a tiny waist -
Youll 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 were through you cant fail
Like a lotus blossom soft and pale
How could any fellow say no sale
Youll bring honor to us all
Youll bring honor to us all
There. Youre ready.
Not yet. An apple for serenity.
A pendant for balance.
Beads of jade For beauty
You must proudly Show it
Now add a cricket Just for luck
And even you cant blow it
Ancestors, hear my plea
Help me not to make a fool of me
And to not uproot my family tree
Keep my father standing tall
Scarier than the undertaker
We are meeting our matchmaker
Destiny guard our girls
And our 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 all
