Honor to Us All
Vocals: Fa Li (Marni Nixon), Granny Fa (Beth Folwer), Mulan (Lea Salonga), and Women's Chorus


Woman1: 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
Women2: Boys will gladly go to war for you
Women1: With good fortune
Women2: And a great hairdo
Both: You'll bring honor to us all
Chorus: A girl can bring her family
        Great honor in one way
        By striking a good match
        And this could be the day
Women2: Men want girls with good taste
Women1: Calm
Women2: Obedient
Women1: Who work fast-pace
Women2: With good bredding
Women3: And a tiny waist! 
All: You'll bring honor to us all
Chorus: We all must serve our Emperor
        Who guards us from the Huns
        A man by bearing arms
        A girl by bearing sons
Women1/Women2/Women3: 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
Fa Li (spoken): There- you're ready.
Grandmother Fa (spoken): Not yet! An apple for serenity... A pendant for balance... (sings)
                         Beads of jade for beauty
                         You must proudly show it
                         Now add a cricket just for luck
                         And even you can't blow it
Mulan: Ancestors
       Hear my plea
       Help me not to make a fool of me
       And not to uproot my fam'ly tree
       Keep my father standing tall
Girls: Scarier than the undertaker
       We are meeting our matchmaker
All Women: 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 honor to us
Girls: Please bring honor to us
All Women: Please bring honor to us
Girls: Please bring honor to us
All: Please bring honor to us all!
