"A Girl Worth Fighting For" from Mulan Written by Jerry Goldsmith and David Zippel Performed by the soldiers and Lea Salonga (Mulan) For a long time we've been marching off to battle In a thundering herd we feel a lot like cattle Like the pounding beat our aching feet aren't easy to ignore Hey, think of instead, a girl worth fighting for That's what I said, a girl worth fighting for I want her paler than the moon with eyes that shine like stars A girl will marvel at my strength, adore my battle scars I couldn't care less what she'll wear or what she look like It all depends on what she cooks like: beef, pork, chicken, mmm... Bet the local girls thought you were quite the charmer And I'll bet the ladies love a man in armor You can guess what we have missed the most since we went off to war What do we want? A girl worth fighting for! A girl will think I have no faults, that I'm a major find How about a girl whos's got a brain, who always speaks her mind? Nah! My manly ways and turns of phrase are sure to thrill her He thinks he's such a lady killer! I've a girl back home who's unlike any other Yeah, the only one who'd love his is his mother! But when we come home in victory they'll line up at the door! What do we want? A girl worth fighting for!
