| Lyrics: | 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 grow with pride
just 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 good hairdo
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 would be
the day
men want girls with good taste
calm, obedient, who work fast paced
with
good breeding
and a tiny waist
you'll bring honor to us all
we all must
serve our emporer
who guards us from the huns
The men by bearing arms
The girls by
bearing sons
when we're through
when we're through
when we're
through...
Like a lotus blossom
Like a lotus blossom
you'll bring honor to
us
(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
scarier than the undertaker
we are meeting our
matchmaker
please bring honor to us
please bring honor to us
please bring honor
to us
please bring honor to us all... |
