Lyrics
For a long time we've been marching off to battle

Yao: In our thundering herd

We feel a lot like cattle

Army: Like the pounding beat

Our aching feet aren't easy to ignore

Ling: Hey, think of instead

A girl worth fighting for

Mulan: Huh?

Ling: That's what I said

A girl worth fighting for

I want her paler than the moon with eyes that shine like stars

Yao: My girl will marvel at my strength, adore my battle scars

Chien Po: 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!

Yao: Bet the local girls thought you were quite the charmer

Ling: And I'll bet the ladies love a man in armor

Army: You can guess what we have missed the most

Since we went off to war

Ling: What do we want?

Army: A girl worth fighting for

Yao: My girl will think I have no faults

Chien Po: That I'm a major find

Mulan: Uh...How 'bout a girl who's got a brain

Who always... speaks her mind?

(beat)

Yao, Ling and Chien Po: Nah!

Ling: My manly ways and turn of phrase are sure to thrill her

Yao: He thinks he's such a lady killer

Chi Fu: I've a girl back home who's unlike any other

Yao: Yeah, the only girl who'd love him is his mother

Army: But when we come home in victory they'll line up at the door

Ling: What do we want?

Army: A girl worth fighting for

Ling: Wish that I had

All: A girl worth fighting for

A girl worth fighting-
