Come to the Supermarket (In Old Peking)

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!
