I Like Chinese


NOTE: Please don't send me corrected lyrics to the Chinese portion of this song. I know you're only trying to help and I do appreciate it when errors are brought to my attention as I want the site to be as accurate as possible. However, in this case at least 50 different people all claiming to speak fluent Chinese have sent me the lyrics. The problem is that of the 50 submissions, no 2 are alike and I can't determine which, if any, is correct. I was thinking of actually learning Chinese myself just so I could be sure it's right, but then luckily somebody hit me with a large fish and I came to my senses. It's a website people and if my interpretation doesn't match yours, somehow life will go on. Refunds are available on your way out of the theater if you feel this has ruined tonights performance.




(spoken)
The world today seems absolutely crackers. With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high. There's fools and idiots sitting on the trigger. It's depressing, and it's senseless, and that's why... (singing) I like Chinese, I like Chinese, They only come up to you knees, Yet they're always friendly and they're ready to to please. I like Chinese, I like Chinese, There's nine hundred million of them in the world today, You'd better learn to like them, that's what I say. I like Chinese, I like Chinese, They come from a long way overseas, But they're cute, and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please. I like Chinese food, The waiters never are rude, Think the many things they've done to impress, There's Maoism, Taoism, I Ching and chess. I like Chinese, I like Chinese, I like their tiny little trees, Their zen, their ping-pong, their ying and yang-eze. I like Chinese thought, The wisdom that Confusious taught, If Darwin is anything to shout about, The Chinese will survive us all without any doubt. So, I like Chinese, I like Chinese, They only come up to your knees, Yet they're wise, and they're witty, and they're ready to please Wo, I chumba run, Wo, I chumba run, Wo, I chumba run, Ne hamma, Ne hamma, Ne hamma chi chen. I like Chinese, I like Chinese, Their food is guaranteed to please, A fourteen, a seven, a nine and lychees I like Chinese, I like Chinese, I like their tiny little trees, Their zen, their ping-pong, their yin and yang-eze I like Chinese, I like Chinese, (fade out....)
