Come to the Supermarket in Old Peking lyrics

If you want a fancy fan

Or a turkey born in turkey-stan

Or a slave that's awf'lly 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: sunflow'r 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 pe-

King

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

Glow worm guaranteed to glow

Or a cloak inclined to cling

Come to the supermarket in old peking

They have bird's-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 moth'r-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

Pe-

King!
