Chop Suey

Lyrics

[MADAM LIANG] Chop suey, chop suey Living here is very much like chop suey Hula hoops and nuclear war Doctor Salk and Zsa Zsa Gabor Harry Truman, Truman Capote and Dewey Chop suey [ENSEMBLE] Chop suey! [MADAM LIANG] Stars are drifting overhead Birds and worms have gone to bed Men work late in laboratories Others read detective stories [ENSEMBLE, spoken] Uh! [MADAM LIANG] Some are roaming 'round the country Others sit beneath just one tree Tonight on TV's late, late show You can look at Clara Bow [ENSEMBLE, spoken] Who? [ENSEMBLE] Chop suey, chop suey Good and bad, intelligent, mad and screwy [MADAM LIANG] Violins and trumpеts and drums Take it all the way that it comes Sad and funny, sour and honеydewy [MADAM LIANG & ENSEMBLE] Chop suey [MADAM LIANG] Ballpoint pens and filter tips Lipsticks and potato chips [FOUR WOMEN] In the dampest kind of heat wave You can give your hair a neat wave [MADAM LIANG] Hear that lovely La Paloma Lullaby by Perry Coma [WANG SAN] Dreaming in my Maidenform bra Dreamed I danced the cha cha cha [ENSEMBLE, spoken] Ooh [ENSEMBLE] Chop suey (Cha, cha, cha cha cha) Chop suey (Cha, cha, cha cha cha) Mixed with all the hokum and ballyhooey [MADAM LIANG] Something real and glowing and grand Sheds a light all over the land [ENSEMBLE] Boston, Austin, Wichita and St. Louis [MADAM LIANG] Chop suey [ENSEMBLE] Chop suey [MADAM LIANG & ENSEMBLE] Chop suey Chop suey Chop suey!
