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 good 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 the 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 palm 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 fam'ly tree Keep my father standing tall Scarier than the undertaker We are meeting our 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

Lyrics: David Zippel
Look at me I will never pass for a perfect bride Or a perfect daughter Can it be I'm not meant to play this part? Now I see That if I were truly to be myself I would break my fam'ly's heart Who is that girl I see Staring straight Back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Somehow I cannot hide Who I am Though I've tried When will my reflection show Who I am inside? When will my reflection show Who I am inside?

Lyrics: David Zippel
Let's get down to business - to defeat the Huns Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons? You're the saddest bunch I've ever met But you can bet before we're through Mister, I'll make a man out of you Tranquil as a forest But on fire within Once you find your center You are sure to win You're a spineless, pale pathetic lot And you haven't got a clue Somehow I'll make a man out of you I'm never gonna catch my breath Say goodbye to those who knew me Boy, was I a fool in school for cutting gym This guy's got 'em scared to death Hope he doesn't see right through me Now I really wish that I knew how to swim (Chorus:) Be a man We must be swift as the coursing river Be a man With all the force of a great typhoon Be a man With all the strength of a raging fire Mysterious as the dark side of the moon Time is racing toward us till the Huns arrive Heed my every order and you might survive You're unsuited for the rage of war So pack up, go home you're through How could I make a man out of you? (repeat chorus) (repeat chorus)

Lyrics: David Zippel
For a long time we've been marching off to battle In our thund'ring herd we feel a lot like cattle Like the pounding beat our aching feet aren't easy to ignore Hey, think of instead a girl worth fighting for Huh? That's what I said: A girl worth fighting for I want her paler than the moon with eyes that shine like stars My girl will marvel at my strength, adore my battle scars I couldn't care less what she'll wear or what she looks like It all depends on what she cooks like: Beef, pork, chicken ... Mmmh ... Bet the local girls thought you were quite the charmer And I'll bet the ladies love a man in armor You can guess what we have missed the most since we went off to war What do we want? A girl worth fighting for My girl will think I have no faults That I'm a major find How 'bout a girl who's got a brain Who always speaks her mind? Nah! My manly ways and turn of phrase are sure to thrill her He thinks he's such a lady-killer I've a girl back home who's unlike any other Yeah, the only girl who'd love him is his mother But when we come home in victory they'll line up at the door What do we want? A girl worth fighting for Wish that I had A girl worth fighting for A girl worth fighting -

Lyrics: David Zippel
Baby, I knew at once that you were meant for me Deep in my soul I know that I'm your destiny Though you're unsure why fight the tide Don't think so much, let your heart decide Baby, I see your future and it's tied to mine I look in your eyes and see you searching for a sign But you'll never fall till you let go Don't be so scared of what you don't know (Chorus:) True to your heart You must be true to your heart That's when the heavens will part And baby, shower you with my love Open your eyes Your heart can tell you no lies And when you're true to your heart I know it's goona lead you straight to me Someone ya know is on your side, can set you free I can do that for you if you believe in my Why second-guess what feels so right Just trust your heart And you'll see the light (repeat chorus) Your heart knows what's good for you Let your heart show you the way It'll see you through Girl, my heart is driving me to where you are You can take both hands off the wheel and still get far Be swept away Enjoy the ride You won't get lost With your heart to guide you (repeat chorus) When things are gettin' crazy And you don't know where to start Keep on believin', baby Just be true to your heart When all the world around yu It seems to fall apart Keep on believin', baby Just be true to your heart

Lyrics: David Zippel
Look at me You may think you see who I really am But you'll never know me Ev'ry day It's as if I play a part Now I see If I wear a mask I can fool the world But I cannot fool my heart Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? When will my reflection show Who I am inside? I am now In a world where I have to hide my heart And what I believe in But somehow I will show the world What's inside my heart And be loved for who I am Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Must I pretend that I'm Someone else for all time? When will my reflection show Who I am inside? There's a heart that must be free to fly That burns with a need to know the reason why Why must we all conceal What we think How we feel Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide? I won't pretend that I'm Someone else For all time When will my reflection show Who I am inside? When will my reflection show Who I am inside?
