Lyrics:
[spoken played in Em]
Ooh, Alexandra Wallace
Damn girl, you so feisty
You so feisty they should call you
Alexandra the Great Wallace
Now don't pretend I didn't see you watch me
Talk on my phone yesterday, all sexy
Ching chong wing wong
Baby it's all just code
It's the way I tell the ladies it's time to get funky
[sung]
Em
I hope one day you can meet my
G
Mother, my brothers, sisters, grandmothers,
C
grandpas, and cousins
Am
Ooh oh
Em
'Cause what they're really doing on those Friday nights
G
Is showing me how to cook and dress,
Am
'Cause baby I wanna take you out
C
And blow your freakin' mind
D Am C Am
And underneath the pounds of makeup and your baby blue eyes
D Am
I know there's a lot of pain and hurt for such a big brain to
C Am
Spend all night studying polisci
Am
I pick up my phone and say
G
Ching chong, it means I love you
D
Ling long, I really want you
Am C
Ting tong, I don't actually know what that means
G
Ching chong, it's never ending
D
Ling long, my head is spinning
Am C
Ting tong, still don't know what that means

[Spoken]
Em
Ooh Alex, I just wanna take my phone out and talk dirty to you all day long
But I know you're busy cramming all those big hard theories and arguments.
[Sung]
Em
You ain't that polite,
G C
nice American girl your momma raised you to be
Am Em
So when you reach that epiphany--
G
--Wait, are you freakin' kiddin' me?
Am
If you have an epiphany every single time you study that means you're
C
probably doin' something wrong--
D
But I like it when you're wrong
D Am C Am
And underneath the pounds of makeup and your baby blue eyes, ohh oh
D Am
I know there's a lot of pain and hurt for such a big brain to
C Am
Spend all night studying polisci
Am
I pick up my phone and say
G
Ching chong, it means I love you
D
Ling long, I really want you
Am C
Ting tong, I really don't know what that means
G
Ching chong, it's never ending
D
Ling long, my head is spinning
Am C
Ting tong, still don't know what that means
[Spoken, chorus continues in background]
It's alright, Alexandra, I know you know nothin' bout tsunamis
I just wanna make sure you know it's not a type of sushi
And I came here to say that I'm actually Chinese, and that's a whole 'nother country
And it's bigger...yeah, way bigger.
But when it comes to love, Alex, there are no boundaries
G
