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! |
