The Lyrics
(Hai!,
For the continent that contains more history, baby,
Than the western six others,
I've got Genghis and Chairman Mao!
Asia!
It's an Eastern thing!)
We've gotta stay,
Thai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai,
"Till I,
Die-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie,
I've gotta stay,
Thai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai,
"Till I,
Die-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie,
I've gotta stay,
Thai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai,
"Till I,
Die-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie,
I've gotta stay,
Thai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai,
"Till I,
Die-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie,
Call me Chinese and you know I'm screamin',
I'll have you know I'm not Korean!
The greatest unity that you've ever seen,
We've pulled through dictators and Mongols being mean,
From western China to southern Japan,
Not an American can top any one man,
As we show off our brawn with our Genghis Khan,
And we turned you on with our PS One,
Eyes real tight, that's the way that I am,
Eating with my whole extended fam,
Pop in some techno, bad grades? Heck no,
From the baseball field to the programming team,
Go grab manga and head for the sushi bar,
I buy nice stereos and I trick out my car,
I ain't Jackie Chan but I know I'm a star,
"Cuz when I'm in the club I'm drinking, low key,
Until the techno comes on and then it's all about me,
This Ninhonjin is just one that you do not trust,
You leave your opium and, man, that stuff will get lit up,
You leave your sake, you believe your sake will get drunk up,
Man, you leave a camera and crew and the movie is going to suck,
All these white guys try to identify,
But why? I want not to be with you guys, I'm,
Divine, right, you think I'm one of you?
We're about as white as Urkel *ti* Urkel *ti* Urkel,
We might as well be purple *ti* purple *ti* purple,
Don't stay around,
I've gotta stay,
Thai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai,
"Till I,
Die-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie,
I've gotta stay,
Thai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai,
"Till I,
Die-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie,
Pump, pump, man, you hear the bass in my trunk?
It shakes the tires with the funk,
It don't come standard, people can't stand it, but, all my money, I will continue to shell out,
I just want to DDR,
Ride my car to the karaoke bar,
Stop at the light, flip on underglow,
Light turns green and watch me go,
But I've got to keep one hand on the gear stick,
Roll down the window and, clutch, hit the gear shift,
I'm rolling by, my speed is growing,
My engine's warming, no sign of slowing,
The police know I'm not worth following,
So when I'm on the freeway, I don't do 50,
You may catch a glimpse, my car just looks like a thin, white streak,
The spirits there,
What you doin'?
Anime,
Since I draw, I can achieve great fame,
The samurai,
And modern guys,
I'm not a fool loaded up on hentai,
I've gotta stay,
Thai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai,
"Till I,
Die-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie,
I've gotta stay,
Thai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai,
"Till I,
Die-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie,
Su-shi,
Ka-bu-ki,
Chibi to kibishi,
A little fried rice and some cold sake,
Some fried shrimp with some tamanegi,
Sensei, teach me the oriental best,
Anataha oshiemasu watashidesu,
I'm in the game for family honor,
Make my ancestors proud of me,
Shu-ku-dai shimasen,
Gotta catch "em all, super saiyan,
Pray all night, work all day,
Be smart and successful, the oriental way,
Play Sony,
Drive Honda,
Konami,
PaRappa,
On top of the globe,
And population overload,
Silk Road, you know you all want some of that,
So incredible, our xenophobia's been keeping us away from that,
Where we go when our very ground is about to crack,
Underneath the population of any country, back,
In the east,
All we need is to breathe in the air by the sea,
We need to keep cutting down our trees,
We need more room for houses, see?
And more electricity,
We're stuck as to where by any luck we can find more oil and electricity,
Production's rising explicitly,
Like the number or hairs on a head,
Geniuses in the west can't even compare,
I've gotta stay,
Thai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai.
