I Like Chinese Lyrics

Artist: Monty Python
Album: Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album

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...
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; 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 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 thought,
The wisdom 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.

All together.

[verse in Chinese]
Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Ni hao ma; ni hao ma; ni hao ma; zaijien! (How are you; how are you; how are you; goodbye!)

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.
They only come up to your knees...

by april-ashlee on 8/11/2008 10:43pm has anybody realised that Bing Lee (Australia) uses the tune from this song as their theme tune? I like Bing Lee I like Bing Lee Their prices are very low you see..... Perfect example of turning a potentially offensive thing to make a profit. So Ironic, I love it!

by Hunter on 9/7/2008 8:41pm People who think this song is rude should go jump in a lake:)
by eViLegion on 9/22/2008 11:58am It is obviously not meant to be insulting. He's rather flattering (in a jokey way) and points out many great features of Chinese culture. Only trouble is, China is sitting on the triggers of a number of nuclear weapons, so the opening premise of the song is void! =P
