SHIKIN: This is what you give me

to work with

RAI: Well honey, I've seen worse!

LIN: We're going to turn this sow's ear

Into a silk purse

SHIKIN: We'll have you washed and dried

Primped and polished

till you glow with pride

LYA: Trust my recipe for instant bride

You'll bring honor to us all

LIN: "Mulan, what's this?"

SHIKIN: "Err.. notes?

In case I forget something?"

LYA: "Hold this. You'll make more luck

than I thought"

LIN: Wait and see

When we're through

SHIKIN: Boys will gladly

go to war for you

With good fortune

LYA: And a great hairdo

LIN: You'll bring honor to us all

SHIKIN: A girl can bring her family

Great honor in one way

By striking a good match

And this could be the day

LYA: Men want girls with good taste

LIN: Calm

SHIKIN: Obedient

LYA: Who work fast paced

SHIKIN: With good breeding

LIN: And a tiny waist

You'll bring honor to us all

SHIKIN: We all must serve our Emperor

Who guards us form the Huns

A man by bearing arms

A girl by bearing sons

LYA: When we're through

You can't fail

LIN: Like a lotus blossom

Soft and pale

SHIKIN: How could any fellow say

LYA: NO SALE

LIN: You'll bring honor to us all

SHIKIN: "There, you're ready"

LYA: "Not yet!"

"An apple for serenity"

"A pendant for balance"

LIN: Beads of jade for beauty

You must proudly show it

SHIKIN: Now add a cricket just for luck

And even you can't blow it

LYA: 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

LIN: Scarier than the undertaker

We are meeting our matchmaker

SHIKIN: Destiny, guard our girls

And our future as it fast unfurls

LYA: Please look kindly

On these cultured pearls

SHIKIN: Each a perfect porcelain dolls

LIN: Please bring honor to us

LYA: Please bring honor to us

SHIKIN: Please bring honor to us

LIN: Please bring honor to us

Altogether: Please bring honor to us ALL

GOOD LUCK LADIES! LOVE U
