" South China Sea Spleen"

by Doug Knox, Randy Mentzer

South China Sea Spleen,

where have you been?

It's been such a long time,

are we still friends?

South China Sea Spleen,

can you spare some bread?

Eating termites all day long,

can't keep my family fed.

Wait 5 years for a toaster,

find out there is no bread.

Thanks for the TV set,

but there's no place to plug it in.

Coloring my Communist coloring book,

with my favorite red crayon.

Party politics getting me down,

lots of reasons to kick Spleen out of town.

South China Sea Spleen,

where did you go?

To a communist rally,

or a propaganda picture show?

South China Sea Spleen,

can you spare some bread?

Eating termites all day long,

can't keep my family fed.

Spleenbo's my enemy,

Mao is my friend.

Spleenbo is everything that we can't comprehend.

Spleenbo is nothing to me, you know,

I could give a damn.

Mao is everything to us,

Spleenbo you must die... and leave town on a bus.

South China Sea Spleen,

where have you been?

It's been such a long, long time,

are we still friends?

South China Sea Spleen,

can you spare some bread?

Eating termites all day long,

don't keep my family fed.
