Honor To Us All Lyrics - Singles - Jerry Goldsmith

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

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

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 

Photos 

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
