    Honor to Us All

    by: Matthew Wilder

    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 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 great fortune and a great 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 could be that 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 Emperor
    Who guards us from the Huns
    A man by bearing arms
    A girl by bearing sons
    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
    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 a 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 honor to us
    Please, bring honor to us
    Please, bring honor to us
    Please, bring honor to us
