...I LIKE CHINESE... by Monty Python
--------------------................

*from 'Monty Python Sings' (1989)*


Intro:

(Spoken):

    G                 Adim       D
The world today seems absolutely crackers,
     G                Adim            D
With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high.
          G
There are fools and idiots sitting on the trigger;
     A7                                       D
It's depressing and it's senseless and that's why...

Verse 1:

G                A7                   D7
 I like Chinese, I like Chinese; they only come up to your knees.
            G       E7                   A7       D7
Yet they're always friendly, 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              A7       D7
You'd better learn to like them, that what's I say!

Chorus 1: 

G                A7                   D7
 I like Chinese, I like Chinese; they come from a long way overseas.
            G                E7                 A7       D7
But they're cute and they're cuddly and they're ready to please.

Verse 3:

G                         A7
 I like Chinese food; the waiters, never are rude.
D7
 Think of the many things, they've done to impress;
        G       E7      A7           D7
There's Maoism, Taoism, I Ching, and Chess.

Chorus 2:

   G               A7                D7
So I like Chinese, I like Chinese, I like their tiny little trees.
      G          E7               A7           D7
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their Yin and Yang-ese.

Verse 4:

G                            A7
 I like Chinese thought, the wisdom that Confucius taught.
   D7
If Darwin is anything to shout about;
    G                E7                A7      D7
The Chinese will sur-vive us all, with-out any doubt.

Chorus 3:

G                A7                   D7
 I like Chinese, I like Chinese; they only come up to your knees.
            G                E7                 A7       D7
Yet they're wise and they're witty, and they're ready to please.

Chorus 4:

G                A7                    D7
 I like Chinese, I like Chinese; their food is guaranteed to please.
  G           E7       A7          D7
A fourteen, a seven, a nine and ly-chees.

Chorus 5:

   G               A7                D7
So I like Chinese, I like Chinese; I like their tiny little trees.
      G          E7               A7           D7
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their Yin and Yang-ese.

Chorus 6:

G                A7
 I like Chinese, I like Chinese...
