Lyrics
The lamb doesn't speak to the lion
The worm doesn't speak to the fish
So never speak directly to an Emperor
If living is your wish
You may respect him
You're permitted to stand in awe
Or you may grovel
Pray to his likeness
That's what emperors are for
But the rabbit doesn't talk to the farmer
Nor the mouse to the cat, I'm afraid
So never speak directly to an Emperor
Never speak directly to an Emperor
Never speak directly to an Emperor
Or you're gonna be one dead bird
All I said to him was
I don't think you understand yet
Continue her lesson
Japan doesn't talk with Cambodia
No one talks to Taiwan at all
You think you can speak to him, we say "No, dear
That's Chinese protocol"
'Cause he's the Emperor
And you're a clod
No one speaks to the Emperor
And the Emperor speaks only to God
Does a deer converse with a hunter?
Does a flea to a dog say "What's new?"
Well, if you speak directly to an Emperor
Look for something new to do
Yeah
'Cause your cleaning days are through
Right?
It's the end
-Hocks up spit
My friend
Ah, bye
You
Ah
Watch the bird
He's trying to escape
Ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah
I think she's going to sing
This is for you
Emperor
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
That was for you
Given with love
My Emperor
I am moved
He is moved
The Emperor's moved
As First Minister to the Emperor, I'd like to say
You exemplify what's best in Chinese birds today
As Publisher of the magazine "Chinese Life" I'm here
To vote you Outstanding Young Bird of the Year
As Minister of Forests, I have found
It is the high nutrition from our trees
Which gives this bird her pure Chinese
Award-winning sound
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
