Lyrics - I Like Chinese by Monty Python

Spoken:
The world today seems absolutely crackers.
With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high.
There are fools and idiots sitting on the trigger.
It's depressing, and it's senseless, and that's why...
Intro:
I like
Chinese,
I like
Chinese,
They only come up to your knees,
Yet they're always friendly and they're ready to please.
Verse:
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.
Chorus:
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.
Verse:
I like chinese food,
The waiters never are rude,
Think of the many things they've done to impress,
There's
Maoism,
Taoism,
I
Ching and chess.
Chorus:
So
I like
Chinese,
I like
Chinese,
I like their tiny little trees,
Their
Zen, their ping-pong, theiryin and yang-ese.
Verse:
I like
Chinese thought,
The wisdom that
Confucious taught,
If
Darwin is anything to shout about,
The
Chinese will survive us all without any doubt.
Chorus:
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.
Verse: (in
Chinese)
Chorus:
I like
Chinese,
I like
Chinese,
Their food is guaranteed to please,
A fourteen, a seven, a nine and lychees.
Chorus:
I like
Chinese,
I like
Chinese,
I like their tiny little trees,
Their
Zen, their ping-pong, their yin and yang-ese.
Fade:
I like
Chinese,
I like
Chinese...
