Bilingual
Kitty: I bring a message from a nightingale.
Emperor's Henchmen: Nightingale, nightingale, nightingale, song-ong-ong-ong-ong.
Kitty: I bring a message from a nightingale.
Kitty & Emperor's Henchmen: Nightingale, Ahhh!
Emperor: You no bow? Emperor and American rady no see eye to eye.
American Lady: But Emperor, sometimes a different outlook can
change your point of view.
Emperor: Whaaaat?
American Lady: Precisely.
What is it about the Asians,
that fascinates Caucasians?
What is it about the Asians,
that's so nice?
Is it the won-tons? The egg rolls? The rice?
Perhaps it's Buddha or Confucius
and their excellent advice.
Emperor: What is it about Caucasians,
that mystifies we Asians?
What is it about Caucasians that's so odd?
They call a pretty rady a broad.
They have hair upon their chest,
and they only have one god?
Impossible!
American Lady: Oh Emperor, you're so light on your feet.
The people of the world are varied,
but differences are in the plan.
Emperor: The only difference I can see,
that means anything to me,
is the one between a rady and a man.
American Lady: Don't you mean lady?
Emperor: Rady.
American Lady: Precisely.
What is it about the Asians?
Emperor: What is it about Caucasians?
American Lady: What makes them so astounding?
The Emperor: What makes them so confusing?
The Emperor & American Lady: It's you!
All: Message from a nightingale song
Emperor: ahhhh.
