Come To The Supermarket (In Old Peking) (Live at the Bon Soir, Greenwich Village, NYC - Nov. 5, 1962)

Lyrics

[sung] If you want a fancy fan Or a turkey born in turkey-stan Or a slave that's awfully African Or a teapot, early Ming Come to the supermarket in Old Peking Well, if you want to buy a kite Or a pup to keep you up at night Or a dwarf who used to know Snow White Or a frog who loves to sing Come to the supermarket in Old Peking They have sunflower cakes, moonbeam cakes Gizzard cakes, lizard cakes Pickled eels, pickle snakes Fit for any king If you want a bust of jade Or an egg that's more or less decayed Or in case you care to meet a maid For a nice but naughty fling Come to the supеrmarket If you come on a turtle, you can park it So comе to the supermarket and see Peking If you want a gong to beat Or a rickshaw with a sassy seat Or a painting slightly indiscreet That is simply riveting Come to the supermarket in Old Peking Well, if you want some calico Or a gentle water buffalo Or a glow worm guaranteed to glow Or a cloak inclined to cling [spoken] Breathe! [sung] Come to the supermarket in Old Peking They have bird's-nest soup, seaweed soup Noodle soup, poodle soup Talking crows with the croup Almost anything If you want to buy a saw Or a fish delicious when it's raw Or a pill to kill your mother-in-law Or a bee without a sting Come to the supermarket If you come on a penguin, you can park it So come to the supermarket If you come on a boa, you can park it So come to the supermarket in Old Peking!
