Monty Python - I Like Chinese

Monty Python - I Like Chinese

I declare this my personal theme song! I won't get into my strong belief that the Chinese are the most intelligent, attractive and wonderful race on this planet, so I'll just say that I love this song.


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

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
