[00:03.09]This is what you give me to work with
[00:05.31]Well honey I've seen worse
[00:07.56]
[00:08.08]We're going to turn this sow's ear
[00:10.71]
[00:11.47]into a silk purse
[00:13.38]
[00:18.39]We'll have you washed and dried
[00:21.20]Primped and polished
[00:22.35]till you glow with pride
[00:24.31]Trust my recipe for instant bride
[00:26.94]You'll bring honor to us all
[00:30.45]
[00:38.50]Wait and see
[00:39.83]When we're through
[00:41.44]Boys will gladly go to war for you
[00:43.89]With good fortune
[00:44.89]And a great hairdo
[00:47.06]You'll bring honor to us all
[00:49.90]
[00:51.02]A girl can bring her family
[00:53.86]great honor in one way
[00:56.73]By striking a good match
[00:59.65]And this could be the day
[01:02.71]Men want girls with good taste
[01:05.62]Calm
[01:06.32]Obediant
[01:06.71]Who work fast-paced
[01:08.58]With good breeding
[01:09.83]And a tiny waist
[01:11.27]You'll bring honor to us all
[01:14.38]
[01:15.37]We all must serve our Emperor
[01:18.09]Who guards us from the Huns
[01:20.95]A man by bearing arms
[01:23.70]A girl by bearing sons
[01:26.96]When we're through
[01:28.30]You can't fail
[01:29.65]Like a lotus blossom
[01:32.16]Soft and pale
[01:33.52]How could any fellow
[01:36.52]Say No Sale
[01:37.88]You'll bring honor to us all
[01:40.76]
[01:43.42]There - you're ready
[01:45.68]Not yet
[01:46.82]An apple for serenity
[01:48.85]A pendant for balance
[01:51.11]
[01:51.73]Beads of jade for beauty
[01:55.97]
[01:57.35]You must proudly show it
[02:02.06]
[02:02.75]Now add a cricket just for luck
[02:07.96]
[02:08.73]And even you can't blow it
[02:11.09]
[02:11.72]Ancestors
[02:13.12]Hear my plea
[02:14.56]Help me not to make a
[02:16.53]fool of me
[02:17.52]And to not uproot
[02:18.64]my family tree
[02:20.39]Keep my father standing tall
[02:23.54]
[02:24.64]Scarier than the undertaker
[02:26.12]We are meeting our matchmaker
[02:30.40]Destiny
[02:31.90]Guard our girls
[02:33.30]And our future
[02:34.26]as it fast unfurls
[02:36.12]Please look kindly on
[02:37.49]these cultured pearls
[02:39.15]Each a perfect porcelain doll
[02:42.36]
[02:43.07]Please bring honor to us
[02:44.64]Please bring honor to us
[02:46.11]Please bring honor to us
