lyrics
Chop a Suey
Intro.
Chorus
I love chop a suey, I love chop a suey, I love chop a suey,
chop a suey nice, chop a suey nice.
I love chop a suey, I love chop a suey, I love chop a suey,
chop a suey nice, chop a suey nice.
Verse 1
Out of Wing Lee’s, drifts an odour, my nostrils are pleased.
Bamboo curtains and chop-sticks around, rice, green-tea and dim-sims abound.
Dragon-boats race, ‘cross the ceiling, whilst san-pans float by.
It’s a magical scene all around, fortune-cookies will hint of your fate.
Chorus
Break
Give me chop a suey now, give me chop a suey please.
Chorus
Verse 2
Inside Wing Lee’s, streamers glitter and sway in the breeze.
Waiter’s hurry with trays of surprise. Pretty ladies shuffle and smile.
Within the air, swirls of sandalwood, scent and disperse
It’s a magical scene all around, quaint statues beg to be yours.
