I Like Chinese
"I Like Chinese" is a comedic song written and performed by Eric Idle and arranged by John Du Prez. It features on Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album from 1980, and is also included on the CD Monty Python Sings.
The song has four verses; the first discussing how the world has become a terrible place (due in part to "nuclear bombs that can blow us all sky high"). The song then segues into a jaunty melody in which the singer states that he "likes Chinese". Broadly outlining stereotypes about Chinese people (an example of this is the stereotype that Chinese people are short, in the line "They only come up to your knees"), it also outlines the achievements of China and its people, including Chinese food, maoism, taoism, I-Ching, chess, penjing ("I like their tiny little trees"), Zen, ping pong, Yin and Yang, and Confucius. Near the end of the song, an erhu starts playing to add more Chinese atmosphere.
The song is sung in English, and the fourth verse contains lyrics in Mandarin.

I Like Chinese
by: Monty PythonSpoken: The world today seems absolutely crackers.
With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high.
There are fools and idiots sitting on the trigger.
It's depressing, and it's senseless, and that's why...

I like Chinese,
They
only come up to your knees,
Yet they're always friendly and they're ready to please.

I like Chinese,
There's nine hundred million of them in the world today,
You'd better learn to like them, that's what I say.

They come from a long way overseas,
But they're cute and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please.

The waiters never are rude,
Think of the many things they've done to impress,
There's M

I like their tiny little trees,
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their

The wisdom that Confucious taught,
If Darwin is an
ything to shout about,
The Chinese will survive us all without any doubt.

I like Chinese,
They only come up to your knees,
Yet they're wise and they're witty, and they're ready to please.

Their food is guaranteed to please,
A fourteen, a seven, a nine and lychees.
