Lea Salonga - Honor To Us All Lyrics

[BATHER]
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 'til you glow with pride
Trust my recipe for instant bride
You'll bring honor to us all

[HAIRDRESSER #1]
Wait and see, when we're through

[HAIRDRESSER #2]
Boys will gladly go to war for you

[HAIRDRESSER #1]
With good fortune

[HAIRDRESSER #2]
And a great hairdo

[FA LI & HAIRDRESSERS]
You'll bring honor to us all

[FA LI & Chorus]
A girl can bring her family
Great honor in one way
By striking a good match
And this could be the day
[DRESSMAKER #1]
Men want girls with good taste

[DRESSMAKER #2]
Calm

[FA LI]
Obedient

[DRESSMAKER #1]
Who work fast-paced

[FA LI]
With good breeding

[DRESSMAKER #2]
And a tiny waist

[FA LI & DRESSMAKERS]
You'll bring honor to us all

[FA LI & Chorus]
We all must serve our emperor
Who guards us from the Huns
A man by bearing arms
A girl by bearing sons
[FA LI (MAKEUP ARTIST)]
When we're through (When we're through)
You can't fail (You can't fail)
Like a lotus blossom (Like a lotus blossom)
Soft and pale (Soft and pale)
How could any fellow (How could any fellow)
Say, "No sale" (Say, "No sale")
You'll bring honor to us all (You'll bring honor to us all)

[FA LI, spoken]
There, you're ready

[GRANDMOTHER FA, spoken]
Not yet
An apple for serenity, a pendant for balance

(sung)
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
[MULAN & Chorus]
Scarier than the undertaker
We are meeting our matchmaker

[Chorus]
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
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us all
