Honor to us all
Woman #1:
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.
Woman #1:
We'll have you, washed and dried
Primped and polished till you glow with pride
Just my recipe for instant bride
You'll bring honor to us all.
Woman #2:
Wait and see, when we're through
Woman #3:
Boys will gladly go to war for you
Woman #2:
With good fortune
Woman #3:
And a great hairdo
Both:
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 might be the day
Woman #4:
Men want girls with good taste
Woman #5:
Calm
Fa Li:
Obedient
Woman #5:
Who work fast-paced
Fa Li:
With good breeding
Woman #5:
And a tiny waist
All:
You'll bring honor to us all.
We all must serve our Emperor
Who guards us from the Huns
A man by bearing arms
A girl by bearing sons
Woman #6:
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:
There, you're ready.
Granny Fa:
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!
Mulan:
Ancestors, hear my plea,
Please don't let me make a fool of me
And to not uproot my family tree
Keep my father standing tall.
Girls:
Scarier than the Undertaker,
We are meeting our matchmaker!
All:
Destiny, guard our girls,
Help our future as it fast unfurls
Please look kindly on these cultured pearls
Each a perfect porcelain doll ...
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us all!
Reflection
Mulan:
Look at me ...
I will never pass for a perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
Can it be?
I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see
That if I were truly to be myself
I would break my family's heart.
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
Why is my reflection someone I don't know
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am, though I've tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am, inside?
I'll Make a Man Out of You
Shang:
Let's get down to business
To defeat the Huns
Did they send me daughters
When I asked for sons?
You're the saddest bunch
I ever met, but you can bet
Before we're through
Mister, I'll make a man
Out of you.
Tranquil as a forest
But on fire within
Once you find your center
You are sure to win
You're a spineless, pale, pathetic lot
And you can bet before we're through
Mister, I'll make a man out of you.
Chien Po:
I'm never gonna catch my breath
Yao:
Say good-bye to those who knew me
Ling:
Boy I was a fool in school for cutting gym
Mushu:
This guy's got 'em scared to death
Mulan:
I hope he doesn't see right through me
Chien Po:
Now I really wish that I knew how to swim
(Be a man)
We must be swift as a coursing river
(Be a man)
With all the force of a great typhoon
(Be a man)
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
Time is racing t'ward us
Till the Huns arrive
Heed my every order
And you might survive
You're unsuited for the rage of war
So pack up, go home, you're through
How could I make a man out of you
(Be a man)
We must be swift as a coursing river
(Be a man)
With all the force of a great typhoon
(Be a man)
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
(Be a man)
We must be swift as a coursing river
(Be a man)
With all the force of a great typhoon
(Be a man)
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon!
A Girl Worth Fighting For
All:
For a long time we've been marching off to battle.
Yao:
In our thundering herd, we feel a lot like cattle.
All:
Like the pounding beat, our aching feet aren't easy to ignore.
Ling:
Hey! Think of instead, a girl worth fighting for!
Mulan: Huh?
Ling:
That's what I said! A girl worth fighting for!
I want her paler than the moon, with eyes that shine like stars.
Yao:
My girl will marvel at my strength, adore my battle scars!
Chien-Po:
I couldn't care less what she'll wear, or what she looks like!
It all depends on what she cooks like!
Beef, pork, chicken, mmm ...
Yao:
Bet the local girls thought you were quite the charmer!
Ling:
And I bet the ladies love a man in armor!
All:
You can guess what we have missed the most
Since we went off to war!
What do we want?
A girl worth fighting for!
Ling:
My girl will think I have no flaws
Chien-Po:
That I'm a major find
Mulan:
How 'bout a girl who's got a brain,
Who always speaks her mind?
All: Nah!
Ling:
My manly ways and turn of phrase and sure to thrill her!
Yao: He thinks he's such a lady-killer!
Ling:
I've a girl back home who's unlike any other!
Yao:
Yeah, the only girl who'd love him is his mother!
All:
But when we come home, in victory
They'll line up at the door!
What do we want?
A girl worth fighting for!
Wish that I had
A girl worth fighting for!
A girl worth fighting--
