come to the supermarket (in old peking)

Singer:barbra streisand

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!
