Lyrics The Song Of The Seeonee - Terry Gilkyson

The Song Of The Seeonee

This is what you give me to work with,
Well honey, i’ve seen worse
We’re going to 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 recipie for instant bride
You’ll bring honour 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 honour to us all
A girl can bring her family
Great honour in one way
By striking a good match
And this would be that day
Men want girls, with good taste
Calm, obediant, who work fast pace
With good breeding and a tiny waist
We all must serve our Emporer, who guards us from the Huns
A man by bearing arms
A girl by bearing sons
(In canon:)
When we’re through
You can’t fail
Like a lotus blossom soft and plae
How could any fellow say 'no sale'
You’ll bring honour to us all
There you’re ready- No 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
Scarier 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 porcelain doll
Please bring honour to us Please bring honour to us all!
