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-
