English Lyrics

From Mulan

Honor us All

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 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 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 all

 

I'll Make a Man Out of You

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 twice)

 

True to Your Heart

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 gonna 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 getting crazy, And you don't know where to start, Keep on believin', baby, Just be true to your heart, When all the world around you, It seems to fall apart, Keep on believin', baby, Just be true to your heart

 

Girl Worth Fighting For

For a long time we've been marching off to a 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 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 Mmm,

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 worht fighting for Wish that I had, A girl worth fighting for, A girl worth fighting

 

Reflection

Look at me, You may think you see who I really am, But you'll never know me, Every 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

Aladdin lyrics

Arabian Nights

Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place, Where the caravan camils roam, Where it's flan and immense, And the heat is intense, It's barbaric, but hey, it's home

When the wind's from the east, And the sun's from the west, And the sand in the glass is right, Come on down, Stop on by, Hop a carpet and fly, To another Arabian night

Arabian nights, Like Arabian days, More often than not, Are hotter than hot, in a lot of good ways

Arabian nights, "Neath Arabian moons, A fool off his guard, Could fall and fall hard, Out there on the dunes

 

One Jump Ahead

Gotta keep, One jump ahead of the breadline, One swing ahead of the sword, I steal only what i can't afford, (That's everything)

One jump ahead of the lawmen, That's all, and that's no joke These guys don't appreciate I'm broke

Riffraff!  Street rat!  Scoundrel!  Take That!  Just a little snack, guys, Rip him open, take it back, guys, i can take a hint, gotta face the facts, You're my only friend, Abu!  Who?

Oh it's sad Aladdin's hit the bottom,  He's become a one-man rise in crime, I'd blame parents except he hasn't got'em, Gotta eat to live, Gotta steal to eat, Tell you all about it when i got the time!

One jump ahead of the slowpokes, One skip ahead of my doom, Next time gonna use a nom de plume, One jump ahead of the hitmen, One hit ahead of the flock, I think I'll take a stroll around the block

Stop, thief!  Vandal!  Outrage!  Scandal!  Let's not be too hasty, Still I think he's rather tasty, Gotta eat to live, Gotta steal to eat, Otherwise we'd get along, wrong!

One jump ahead of the hoofbeats (Vandal!) One hop ahead of the hump (Street rat!) One trick ahead of disaster (Scoundrel!)  They're quick, but I'm much faster (Take that!)  Here goes, better throw my hand in, Wish me happy landin', All I gotta do is jump

 

One Jump Ahead (Reprise)

Riffraff, street rat, I don't buy that, If only they'd look closer, Would they see a poor boy?  No, siree, They'd find out, There's so much more to me

 

Friend like me

Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves, Scheherezad-ie had a thousand tales, But master you in luck "cause up your sleeves, You got a brand of magic never fails, You got some power in your corner, now, Some heavy ammunition in your camp, You got some punch, pizazz, yahoo and how

See all you gotta do is rub that lamp, and I'll say

Mister Aladdin, Sir, What will your pleasure be?  Let me take your order

Jot it down, You ain't never had a friend like me, No no no

Life is your restaurant, And I'm your maitre'd, C'mon whisper what it is you want, You ain't never had a friend like me

Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service, You're the boss, The king, the shah, Say what you wish, It's yours! True dish, How about a little more Baklava?

Have some of column "A", Try all of column "B", I'm in the mood to help you dude, You ain't never had a friend like me

Can your friends do this?  Do your friends do that?  Do your friends pull this out their little hat?  Can your friends go, poof?

Well, looky here, Can your friends go, Abracadabra, let 'er rip, And then make the sucker disappear?

So doncha sit there slack jawed, buggy eyed, I'm here to answer all your midday prayers, You got me bona fide, certified, You got a genie for your charge d'affaires, I got a powerful urge to help you out, So what-cha wish?  I really wanna know, You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt, Well, all you gotta do is rub like so - and oh

Mister Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three, I'm on the job, you big nabob, You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend, You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend, you ain't never had a friend like me

You ain't never had a friend like me, hah!

 

Prince Ali

Make way for Prince Ali Say hey!  It's Prince Ali

Hey!  Clear the way in the old Bazaar, Hey you!  Let us through!  It's a bright new star!  Oh come!  Be the first on your block to meet his eye!

Make way!  Here he comes!  Ring bells!  Bang the drums!  Are you gonna love this guy!

Prince Ali!  Fabulous he!  Ali Ababwa, Genuflect, shom some respect

Down on one knee!  Now, try your best to stay calm, Brush up your sunday salaam, The come and meet his spectacular coterie

Prince Ali! Mighty is he!  Ali Ababwa, Strong as ten regular men, definitely!  He faced the galloping hordes, A hundred bad guys with swords, Who sent those goons to their lords?  Why, Prince Ali

He's got seventy-five golden camels, Purple peacocks, He's got fifty-three, when it comes to exotic-type mammals, Has he got a zoo?

I'm telling you, it's a worlt-class menagerie

Prince Ali!!  Handsome is he, Ali Ababwa, That physique!  How can I speak, Weak at the knee, Well, get on out in that square, Adjust your vein and prepare, To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Ali!

There's no question this Ali's alluring, Never ordinary, never boring

Everything about the man just plain impresses, He's a winner, he's a whiz, a wonder!

He's about to pull my heart asunder!  And I absolutely love the way he dresses!

He's got ninety-five white Persian monkeys (He's got the monkeys, lets see the monkeys) And to view them he charges no fee (He's generous, so generous)  He's got slaves, he's got servants and flunkies

(Proud to work for him) They bow to his whim love serving him, They're just lousy with loyalty to Ali!  Prince Ali!

Prince Ali!  Amorous he!  Ali Ababwa, Heard your princess was a sight lovely to see, And that, good people, is why he got dolled up and dropped by, With sixty elephants, Ilamas galore, With his bears and lions

A brass band and more, With his forty fakirs, his cooks, his bakers, His birds that warble on key, Make way for prince Ali!

 

A Whole New World

I can show you the world, Shining, shimmering, splendid, Tell me, princess, now when did, You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes, Take you wonder by wonder, Over, sideways and uneder, On a magic Carpet ride

A whole new world, A new fantastic point of view, No one to tell us no Or where to go, Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world, A dazzling place I never knew, But when I'm way up here, It's crystal clear, That now I'm in a whole new world with you, Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights, Indescribable feeling, Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling, Through and endless diamond sky, A whole new world, Don't you dare close your eyes, A hundred thousand things to see, Hold your breath - it gets better, I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far, I can't go back to where I used to be

A whole new world, Every turn a surprise, With new horizons to pursue, Every moment red-letter, I'll chase them anywhere, There's time to spare, Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world, That's where we'll be, A thrilling chase, A wondrous place, For you and me

 

Prince Ali (Reprise)

Prince Ali, Yes it is he, But not as you know him, Read my lips and come to grips with reality, Yes, meet a blast from your past, Whose lies were too good to last, Say hello to your precious Prince Ali!

So Ali turns out to be merely Aladdin, Just a con, need I go on?  Take it from me, His personality flaws, Give me adequate cause, To send him packing on a one-way trip, So his prospects take a terminal dip, His assets frozen, the venue chosen, Is the ends of the earth - whoopee!

So long, ex-Prince Ali!

Candy Candy

I don't mind my freckles, and I like my flat nose, I love being foolish and playing practical jokes, I love racing and skipping, I am, I am, I am Candy, Being alone, I feel a bit lonely, during such times, I stare at the mirror, Smile, smile, smile Candy, say goodbye to your, crying face, isn't that right, Candy Candy?  I don't care about my style, I think I'm cute, being a bit chubby, I love throwing up a rope and climbing trees, I love whistling and chatting, I am, I am, I am Candy

When I look up at the sky, I feel a bit lonely, during that time, I pinch my cheek, Even if you are unkind to me, i don't care about it, I can take insults, i love cakes and cookies, I also love my green dress, I am, I am, I am Candy, When I am counting the stars, I feel a bit lonely, during that time, i wink to myself
