I am not your Ching-Chung-Chong


I am not your Ching-Chung-Chong
Or Ching-Ching-Chung
But what can I do?

I am not the humble Chinaman you should verbally abuse
the smooth Chinadoll you may pervertedly play
the messy Chinatown you could randomly litter
But what can I do?

Mispronounce misunderstand misrepresent missing in action.
Do what you like
I will make a fuss
Call me drama queen
Isn't that what you want me to be?

It's human nature-my passive aggressiveness

I am not your squinty eyes Fu-Man-Chu
I am not your made in China sweatshop
I am not your memoir of a geisha

Listen carefully--My real name is CHENG-KUANG-CHUNG
