...I LIKE CHINESE... by Monty Python
--------------------................
*from 'Monty Python Sings' (1989)*
Intro:
(Spoken):
G
The world today,
Adim D
Seems absolutely crackers,
G
With nuclear bombs,
Adim D
To blow us all sky high.
G
There are fools and idiots,
Sitting on the trigger;
A7
It's depressing and it's senseless,
D
And that's why...
Verse 1:
G A7
I like Chinese, I like Chinese,
D7
They only come up to your knees.
G E7
Yet they're always friendly,
A7 D7
And they're ready to please.
Verse 2:
G A7
I like Chinese, I like Chinese,
D7
There's nine hundred million of them,
In the world today;
G E7
You'd better learn to like them,
A7 D7
That's what I say.
Chorus 1:
G A7
I like Chinese, I like Chinese,
D7
They come from a long way overseas.
G E7
But they're cute and they're cuddly,
A7 D7
And they're ready to please.
Verse 3:
G
I like Chinese food,
A7
The waiters never are rude.
D7
Think of the many things,
They've done to impress;
G E7
There's Maoism, Taoism,
A7 D7
I Ching and chess.
Chorus 2:

G A7
So I like Chinese, I like Chinese,
D7
I like their tiny little trees,
G E7
Their Zen their ping-pong,
A7 D7
Their Yin and Yang-ese.
Verse 4:
G
I like Chinese thought,
A7
The wisdom that Confucious taught.
D7
If Darwin is anything to shout about,
G E7
The Chinese will sur-vive us all,
A7 D7
With-out any doubt.
Chorus 3:
G A7
I like Chinese, I like Chinese,
D7
They only come up to your knees.
G E7
Yet they're wise and they're witty,
A7 D7
And they're ready to please.
Chorus 4:
G A7
I like Chinese, I like Chinese,
D7
Their food is guaranteed to please.
G E7
A fourteen, A seven,
A7 D7
A nine and ly-chees.
Chorus 5:
G A7
So I like Chinese, I like Chinese,
D7
I like their tiny little trees,
G E7
Their Zen their ping-pong,
A7 D7
Their Yin and Yang-ese.
Chorus 6:
G A7
I like Chinese, I like Chinese...
