Flower Drum Song movie - Chop Suey lyrics

rate me

<br>

Chop suey, chop suey!<br>

Living here is very much like chop suey.<br>

<br>

Hula hoops and nuclear war,<br>

Doctor Salk and Zsa Zsa Gabor,<br>

Bobby Darin, Sandra Dee, and Dewey,<br>

Chop suey, --Chop suey!--<br>

<br>

Stars are drifting overhead,<br>

Birds and worms have gone to bed.<br>

Men work late in laboratories,<br>

Others read detective stories.<br>

<br>

Some are roaming 'round the country,<br>

Others sit beneath just one tree.<br>

Tonight on TV's Late, Late Show<br>

You can look at Clara Bow! --Who?--<br>

<br>

Chop suey, chop suey!<br>

Good and bad, intelligent, mad, and screwy.<br>

Violins and trumpets and drums,<br>

Take it all the way that it comes,<br>

Sad and funny, sour and honey dewy,<br>

Chop suey!<br>

<br>

Ballpoint pens and filter tips,<br>

Lipsticks and potato chips.<br>

In the dampest kind of heat wave<br>

You can give your hair a neat wave.<br>

<br>

Hear that lovely La Paloma,<br>

Lullaby by Perry Como.<br>

Dreaming in my Maid'nform bra,<br>

Dreamed I danced the Cha-Cha-Cha.<br>

<br>

Chop suey, chop suey!<br>

Mixed with all the hokum and bally hooey.<br>

Something real and glowing grand.<br>

Sheds a light all over the land.<br>

<br>

Boston, Austin, Wichita, and St. Louey,<br>

Chop suey.<br>

Chop suey, chop suey!<br>

Chop suey, chop suey!<br>

<br>
