...I LIKE CHINESE... by Monty Python
--------------------................

*from 'Monty Python Sings' (1989)*


Intro:

(Spoken):

    G
The world today,
      Adim
Seems absolutely,
D
 Crackers,
     G
With nuclear bombs,
   Adim
To blow us,
        D
All sky high.

          G
There are fools,
And idiots,
Sitting on,
The trigger;
     A7
It's depressing,
And it's senseless,
           D
And that's why...

Verse 1:

G
 I like Chinese,
A7
 I like Chinese,
     D7
They only come up,
To your knees,
Yet they're;
G       E7
 Always friendly,
And they're;
A7        D7
 Ready to please.

Verse 2:

G
 I like Chinese,
A7
 I like Chinese,
        D7
There's nine hundred,
Million of them,
In the world today;
      G
You'd better learn,
   E7
To like them,
       A7     D7
That's what I say.

Chorus 1: 

G
 I like Chinese,
A7
 I like Chinese,
     D7
They come from,
A long way overseas,
            G
But they're cute,
            E7
And they're cuddly,
And they're;
A7        D7
 Ready to please.

Verse 3:

G
 I like,
Chinese food,
    A7
The waiters,
Never are rude,
D7
 Think of the,
Many things,
They've done,
To impress;
        G
There's Maoism,
E7
 Taoism,
A7           D7
 I Ching and chess.

Chorus 2:

   G
So I like Chinese,
A7
 I like Chinese,
  D7
I like their,
Tiny little trees,
      G
Their Zen,
      E7
Their ping-pong, 
      A7
Their Yin and,
     D7
Yang-ese.

Verse 4:

G
 I like,
Chinese thought,
    A7
The wisdom that,
Confucious taught,
   D7
If Darwin,
Is anything,
To shout about,
    G
The Chinese will,
    E7
Sur-vive us all 
     A7      D7
With-out any doubt.

Chorus 3:

   G
So I like Chinese,
A7
 I like Chinese,
     D7
They only come up,
To your knees,
            G
Yet they're wise,
            E7
And they're witty,
And they're;
A7        D7
 Ready to please.

Chorus 4:

G
 I like Chinese,
A7
 I like Chinese,
      D7
Their food is,
Guaranteed to please,
  G           E7
A fourteen, A seven,
  A7          D7
A nine and ly-chees.

Chorus 5: 

   G
So I like Chinese,
A7
 I like Chinese,
  D7
I like their,
Tiny little trees,
      G
Their Zen,
      E7
Their ping-pong,
      A7
Their Yin,
         D7
And Yang-ese.

Chorus 6:

G
 I like Chinese,
A7
 I like Chinese...
