Disney Song Lyrics

Mulan: Honour to us all

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
Bridge 1.
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

In canon:
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
--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* can't blow it.

Mulan:
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 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!
