Come To The Supermarket (In Old Peking)

Lyrics

If you want a fancy fan, or a turkey born in Turkestan
 Or a slave that's awfully African, or a teapot early ming
 Come to the supermarket in Old Peking
 If you want to buy a kite, or a pup to keep you up at night
 Or a dwarf who used to know Snow White, or a frog who loves to sing
 Come to the supermarket in Old Peking
 They have, sunflower cakes, moonbeam cakes
 Gizzard cakes, lizard cakes
 Pickled eels, pickle snakes fit for any king
 If you want a bust of jade, or an egg that's more or less decayed
 Or in case, you care to meet a maid for a nice but naughty fling
 Come to the supermarket
 If you come on an ostrich, you can park it
 So come to the supermarket and see Peking
 If you want a gong to beat or a rickshaw with a sassy seat
 Or a painting slightly indiscreet that is simply riveting
 Come to the supermarket and see Peking
 Well, if you want some calico, or a gentle water buffalo
 Glowworm guaranteed to glow, or a cloak inclined to cling
 Come to the supermarket in Old Peking
 They have birds-nest soup, seaweed soup
 Noodle soup, poodle soup
 Talking crows with the croup
 Almost anything!
 If you want to buy a saw, or a fish delicious when it's raw
 Or a pill to kill your mother-in-law, or a bee without a sting
 Come to the supermarket
 If you come on a turtle, you can park it
 So come to the supermarket
 If you come on a goose, you can park it
 So come to the supermarket
 And see Peking!
