Spoken
The world today seems absolutely crackers
With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high
There are fools and idiots sitting on the triggers
It’s depressing, and it’s senseless, and that’s why…
I like Chinese
I like Chinese
They only come up to your knees
Yet they’re always friendly and they’re ready 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, what’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 of the many things they’ve done to impress
There’s Maoism, Taoism, I Ching and Chess
So I like Chinese
I like Chinese
I like their tiny little trees
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin and yang-ese
I like Chinese taught
The wisom that Confucious 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
Verse of I Like Chinese in Chinese HERE
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-ese
I like Chinese… I like Chinese
