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! |
