matthew wilder - honor to us all lyrics

Loading...

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
please, bring honor to us all
