"Honor To Us All" from Mulan Written by Jerry Goldsmith and David Zippel Performed by June Foray (Granny Fa), Freda Foh Shen (Fa Li), Lea Salonga (Mulan) and others This is what you give me to work with? Well, honey, I've seen worse. We're gonna 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 Wait and see when we're through Boys will gladly go to war for you With good fortune and a great hairdo You'll bring honor to us all A girl can being 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 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 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 to not uproot my family tree Keep my father standing tall Scarier than the undertaker We are meeting or matchmaker Destiny, guide 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 all!
