Lyrics
Made in China
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.
Oh China, you make my watch, my tackle box, my kitchen knives
Oh China, you make my drill, my outdoor grill, my favorite tie
Oh China, you make my phone, my stereo, my big-screen TV
My 18-speed mountain bike, my Christmas lights, my Christmas tree
Oh China, you make my plates, my microwave, my garden hose
My big league bat and ball, my Barbie Doll, my GI Joe
Oh China, when I get bored, I can afford to buy more stuff
Because a tiny 40 cent wage, is all you make to make the things I love
All your hands across the sea make my American dream
So very cheaply
My alleged superpower wouldn't even last an hour
If you should leave me
Of course, not EVERYTHING is made in China. Some things are made in:
Bangladesh and India, Egypt and Malaysia
Mexico and Vietnam, Guatemala and Hong Kong
Philippines and Indonesia, Uruguay and South Korea
Haiti and El Salvador, Pakistan and Ecuador and
Thailand, Cambodia, Honduras, Mongolia
Instead of China
Now, American flags are typically not made in China. Most of them proudly display "Made in the U.S.A." on their labels. People understandably consider it an outrage that Old Glory itself would be sewn anywhere but here in the proud land of the stars and stripes. However, if you need a flagpole for that flag, chances are you'll find that it was made in…
China, you make my shoes, my power tools, my rocking chair
My no-stick pots and pans, my pajamas and my Teddy Bear
Are made in China
