10,000 Chinese Walk Into A Bar |
| 10 000 chinese walk into a bar and order up a beer |
| The barman says, it’s funny you know we don’t get many Chinese in here |
| Now I don’t know if I got it right maybe no one knows |
| It’s just a joke I heard one night and that’s the way it goes |
| I’ll have one of those |
| Grab a chair and stay all night |
| Make yourself at home |
| I may be wrong but that’s alright |
| I am not alone |
| A little man in this little town, he wears a lot of hats |
| He’s always out tomcattin' around, he’s got a thing for cats |
| Now I ain’t seen him with a cat I so ain’t really sure |
| But listen close 'cause when he talks, sometimes you hear him purr |
| There ain’t a cure |
| Another man he loved duct tape, he made a duct tape suit |
| And he had duct tape from the top of his hat to the heel of his cowboy boot |
| And when he died they buried him down down in that cold cold ground |
| And they stuff him in that pine box boy and then they taped him down |
| I was out of town |
| (Instrumental) |
| And then there was this Irishman who, uh, stayed drunk all time |
| I’m sorry friend I screwed that up, I told you the punch line |
| Anyway I got to split, they’re just about to close |
| But I’ll be back tomorrow night 'cause that the way it goes |
| Yeah that’s the way it goes |
