Lyrics
My name is Julie Chow, and I'm Chinese American. Can you be my China doll? Can you try that Southern drawl? Yellow skin looked good on white Squinty-eyes are oh-so-nice Talk to me in Ching Chang tongue Grow your hair jet black and long Cheong sam baby, lipstick rouge Bring on your true Asian groove "Why don't Asians ever look good in magazine spreads?" "Aiyeuu...ni zen me chuan na me lou, huh?" Yellow girl you speak too White Yellow girl your shirt's too tight Sit back down and hold your tongue This is how the West was won... You hold both your chopsticks wrong You murder your mother tongue Weren't you raised overseas? Are you sure you're full Chinese? Wo zai mei guo shang da xue - I go to college in America Wo jia ren zhu zai xin jia po - My family lives in Singapore Wo cong xiao zai guo wai zhang da - I grew up overseas Too Asian to be American (Too American to be Asian) Too expatriate to be native (Too international to be...) Californian - I won't try to be (I never tried) I was born in Red Bank, New Jersey (Monmouth, actually) Slap me with your foreign fees (Out-of-state) 'Cause my home is overseas "Ni na-er lai de?" "All the Chinese I knew were docile and subservient" "Ni gen ben mei kou yin ma!" "Don't they cane people in Singapore? Can you chew gum?" "Ni shi Beijing ren ma?" "You look like Mao...are you communist?" "Ni gen ben mei kou yin ma!" "Can you chew gum?" "Are you communist?" Can you be my China doll? - Yellow girl you speak too White Can you try that Southern drawl? - Yellow girl your shirt's too tight Yellow skin looked good on white - Sit back down and hold your tongue Squinty-eyes are oh-so-nice - This is how the West was won... Talk to me in Ching Chang tongue - You hold both your chopsticks wrong Grow your hair jet black and long - You murder your mother tongue Cheong sam baby, lipstick rouge - Weren't you raised overseas? Bring on your true Asian groove - Are you sure you're full Chinese? Wo jiao Zhou Ai Lin. Wo shi ge mei ji hua ren.
