Honor To Us All |
| 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 hair-do) |
| You’ll 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 waste |
| You’ll bring honor to us all |
| We all must serve our emperor |
| Who guards us from the huns |
| The men 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 |
| You’ll bring honor to us all |
| 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! |
| 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 |
| Steadier 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 porcelian 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! |
