The world today seems absolutely crackers, |
|
|
With nuelear bombs to blow us all |
|
|
There are tools and idiots sitting on the trigger, |
|
|
It's depressing and it's senseless and that's why: |
|
|
|
|
They only come up to your knees, |
|
Yet they're always friendly, and |
|
|
|
|
|
There's nine hundred million of |
|
|
You'd better learn to like them, |
|
|
|
|
|
They come from a long way overseas, |
|
But they're cute and they're |
|
cuddly, and they're ready to please. |
|
|
|
The waiters never are rude, |
|
Think of the many things they've |
|
|
There's Maoism, Taoism, I Ching and Chess. |
|
|
|
|
I like their tiny little trees, |
|
Their Zen, their Ping-pong, their yin and yang-ese. |
|
|
|
The wisdom that Confucious taught |
|
If Darwin is anything to shout about, |
|
The Cinese will survive us all |
|
|
|
|
|
They only come up to your knees, |
|
Yet they are wise and they're witty |
|
|
|
|
|
Their food if guaranteed to please, |
|
A fourteen, a seven, a nine and lynchees. |
|
|
|
|
I like their tiny little trees, |
|
Their Zen, their ping-pong, |
|
