...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...
