Western People Funny (From "The King and I") Lyrics
To prove we're not barbarians
They dress us up like savages
To prove we're not barbarians
We wear a funny skirt
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
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
All
Western People Funny
Western People Funny
Western People Funny
Too funny to be true
Thiang
They think they civilise us
Whenever they advise us
To learn to make the same mistake
That they are making too
Wives
They think they civilise us
ThiangAh h
Whenever they advise us
To learn to make the same mistake
That they are making too
All
THEY MAKE QUITE A FEW
