Western People Funny Lyrics by The King and I (1964 Studio Cast)

The King and I (1964 Studio Cast Recording)

1964

[LADY THIANG]
To prove we're not barbarians
They dress us up like savages
To prove we're not barbarians
We wear a funny skirt
[ROYAL WIVES]
To prove we're not barbarians
They dress us up like savages
To prove we're not barbarians
We wear a funny skirt
[LADY THIANG]
Western people funny
Western people funny
Western people funny
Of that there is no doubt
They feel so sentimental
About the oriental
They always try to turn us
Inside down and upside out
[ROYAL WIVES]
Upside out and inside down
[LADY THIANG]
To bruise and pinch our little toes
Our feet are cramped in leather shoes
They'd break if we had brittle toes
But now they only hurt
[ROYAL WIVES]
To bruise and pinch our little toes
Our feet are cramped in leather shoes
They'd break if we had brittle toes
But now they only hurt
[LADY THIANG & ROYAL WIVES]
Western people funny
Western people funny
Western people funny
Too funny to be true
[LADY THIANG]
They think they civilize us
Whenever they advise us
To learn to make the same mistake
That they are making too
[ROYAL WIVES]
They think they civilize us
Whenever they advise us
To learn to make the same mistake
That they are making too
[LADY THIANG & ROYAL WIVES]
They make quite a few
