The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Thiang:
To prove we're not barbarians
They dress us up like savages!
To prove we're not barbarians
We wear a funny skirt!
Ah...............h!
Wives:
To prove we're not barbarians
They dress us up like savages!
To prove we're not barbarians
We wear a funny skirt!
Thiang:
Western People Funny,
Western People Funny,
Western People Funny,
Of that there is no doubt,
They feel so sentimental
About the Oriental,
They always try to turn us
Inside down down and upside out!
Wives:
Upside out and inside down!
Thiang:
To bruise and pinch our little toes-
Our feet are cramped in leather shoes-
They'd break if we had brittle toes,
But now they only hurt!
Ah...............h!
Wives:
To bruise and pinch our little toes
Our feet are cramped in leather shoes,
They'd break if we had brittle toes,
But now they only hurt!
Western People Funny!
Western People Funny!
Western People Funny!
Too funny to be true!
Thiang:
They think they civilise us
Ah.....
Whenever they advise us
To learn to make the same mistake
That they are making too! .............h!
All:
THEY MAKE QUITE A FEW!
