Rice King

Ever since I was a youth
Itu0027s all been very clear
I knew somehow I had been born
In the wrong hemisphere
The girls in my native land
Could never satisfy
Peggy Sue would just not do
I always wondered why
And then when I came of age
I traveled to the East
Escaping famine in the West
I invited myself to a feast

So open your arms, Yoko, open your legs
Iu0027m an Occidental love machine
And I will never stop my search
Until Iu0027ve found my Asian queen

Thatu0027s why they call me
R - I - C - E
K - I - N - G
Baby whatu0027s my name?
R - I - C - E
K - I - N - G
Ainu0027t no shame in my game

Iu0027ve been to Kyoto, Singapore
Manila and Saigon
Bangkok, Busan, Ulaan Bataar
Taipei, Rangoon, and Hong Kong
They say I have a fetish
They say that I am ill
They call it Yellow Fever
But, baby, itu0027s a passion that can kill
And still I have this hunger
And still I have this pain
I need a goddess for my temple
I need some yin for all this yang

So open your arms, Yoko, open your legs
Iu0027m an Occidental love machine
And I will never stop my search
Until Iu0027ve found my Asian queen

Thatu0027s why they call me
R - I - C - E
K - I - N - G
Baby whatu0027s my name?
R - I - C - E
K - I - N - G
Thatu0027s my claim to fame

Thatu0027s why they call me
R - I - C - E
K - I - N - G
Baby whatu0027s my name?
R - I - C - E
K - I - N - G
Ainu0027t no shame in my game
