The Peking King and the New York Queen

Well I heard a story, you can judge it's worth

About the sun and the moon the time they came down to earth

They pass in the heavens each day up above

Time after time they soon became old

They could not touch, they could not kiss

They had no flesh, no earthly bliss

So they made a scheme, they made a plan

They would come down to earth as a woman and a man

And took human forms to live out a dream

The most beautiful people that I've ever seen

They were the Peking king and the New York queen

I said the Peking king and the New York queen

As fate would have it it was a toss of a dice

They went to opposite ends of this world with our lives

Opposite eyes, opposite minds

Such things matter in these troubled times

"We read a book from right to left"

"You read a book from the left to the right!"

"We see a rabbit in the moon"

"When you look at the moon, It's a man on the moon"

"Raw fish is very tasty, thank you"

"Eating raw fish is disgusting"

"Buddah is the only way"

"Jesus is the fun way"

"Communism!"

"Democracy!"

"East is red"

"Better dead than red!"

Peking in the east, New York in the west

Each say that they are the best

About the sun and the moon and their earthly quest

Knew without a doubt that it was all the best

They said what does it matter how you read a book

It's all the same no matter how it looks

Well the only thing important to the Peking king

Was feeding in the arms of his New York queen

Thousands of miles, they were so far apart

How to get together, where to start

On the California zipper and the Shanghai express

He headed to Hong Kong, she headed out west

No passports, no visas, no government quotas

No red tape no red guard could stop the dream of the Peking king and the New York Queen

I said the Peking king and the New York queen

So the found a little lot in the field of dreams

It was a perfect little place to live our dream

East is east, west is west

'Cause you're invited to the wedding to share a dream

Of the Peking king and the New York queen

Peking king and the New York queen

You're invited to the wedding and to share in a dream

You're invited to the wedding and to share in a dream

Of the Peking king and his New York queen

You're invited to the wedding and to share in a dream

You're invited to the wedding and to share in a dream

Of the sun and the moon

Peking king and New York queen
