Bather:
This is what you give me to work with?
Well, honey, I've seen worse.
We're gonna 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.

Great honor in one way.

We all must serve our emperor
Who guards us from the Huns.
A man by bearing arms,
A girl by bearing sons.

Makeup Artist 1, 2 and Fa Li: (in a round)
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.

Grandmother Fa:
(speaking) Not yet. An apple for serenity, a pendant for balance.
(singing) 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
Help me not to make a fool of me
And to not uproot my family tree
Keep my father standing tall.

Mulan and Young Girls:
Scarier than the undertaker
We are meeting our matchmaker!

And our future as it fast unfurls
Please look kindly on these cultured pearls
Each a perfect porcelain doll.
