Flower Drum Song the Musical - Chop Suey Lyrics
The song was written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.
MADAM LIANG:
Chop suey, chop suey!
Living here is very much like chop suey.
Hula hoops and nuclear war,
Doctor Salk and Zsa Zsa Gabor,
Bobby Darin, Sandra Dee, and Dewey,
Chop suey.
ENSEMBLE:
Chop suey!
MADAM LIANG:
Stars are drifting overhead,
Birds and worms have gone to bed.
Men work late in laboratories,
Others read detective stories.
Some are roaming 'round the country,
Others sit beneath just one tree.
Tonight on TV's Late, Late Show
You can look at Clara Bow!
ENSEMBLE:
Who?
MADAM LIANG & ENSEMBLE:
Chop suey, chop suey!
Good and bad, intelligent,
Mad, and screwy.
MADAM LIANG:
Violins and trumpets and drums,
Take it all the way that it comes,
Sad and funny, sour and honey dewy.
MADAM LIANG & ENSEMBLE:
Chop suey!
MADAM LIANG:
Ballpoint pens and filter tips,
Lipsticks and potato chips.
ENSEMBLE:
In the dampest kind of heat wave
You can give your hair a neat wave.
MADAM LIANG:
Hear that lovely La Paloma,
Lullaby by Perry Como.
Dreaming in my Maid'nform bra,
Dreamed I danced the Cha-Cha-Cha.
ENSEMBLE:
Chop suey, chop suey!
Mixed with all the hokum and bally hooey.
MADAM LIANG:
Something real and glowing grand.
Sheds a light all over the land.
ENSEMBLE:
Boston, Austin, Wichita, and St. Louey.
MADAM LIANG:
Chop suey.
MADAM LIANG & ENSEMBLE:
Chop suey, chop suey!
Chop suey, chop suey!
