Chinese Things (a song)

Sung to the tune of "My Favorite Things" from Sound of Music:

 

Cars speeding

Horns Honking

Traffic lights useless.

Men spitting

Peeing all

Over the sidewalk.

Stores are not heated and so they're freezing.

These are some of the most interesting things.

Pigs feet

Intestines

I don't know what that is.

Buying things

Bargaining

The king here: cash is.

Learning the language is quite tedious.

These are some of the most interesting things

When this places gets very stressful, and I'm feeling sad.

I simply go out and get a foot massage, and then I don't feel so bad.

America

Owes China

Trillions of dollars.

Yet we

Sell arms and

Invite Dalai Lama.

I'm not political, but I know this.

China finds these very annoying things.

China

Was scarier

Before I came here.

People here

Are kind to

Me and my family.

Why can't we just hug and all get along?

Then I won't need to write a stupid song?

When the world gets very stressful and I'm feeling sad.

I simply go out and get a foot massage, and then I don't feel so bad.
