Invitation To The Ping-Pong Ball Lyrics by The Wombles

The Best Wombles Album So Far, Volume One

0

In the alleyways of Peking
And the streets of old Shanghai
The restaurants do good business
And the Rickshaws rattle by
The Oriental Wombles fill
The Chinese litter bins
With nuts and bolts and boiling rice
And old chop suey tins
You're invited to the Ping-Pong Ball
In the Chinese Wombling Ping-Pong-Ball Hall
You're invited to the Ping-Pong Ball
In the Chinese Wombling Ping-Pong-Ball Hall
From the Yangtze Kyang Basin
To the Shantung Mountain Hills
They exercise their Oriental
Litter-picking skills
There's an anciеnt Womble Proverb
Which they sing to thе Yellow Seas;
"He who cleans the countryside
Deserves to be Chinese."
You're invited to the Ping-Pong Ball
In the Chinese Wombling Ping-Pong-Ball Hall
You're invited to the Ping-Pong Ball
In the Chinese Wombling Ping-Pong-Ball Hall
All the harbour lights are shining
And the band begins to play
The chopsticks hit the drums so hard
That you jump out of the way
Chinatown is moving
To the Koto and the flute
And the sound of Shanghai Wombles
Eating crunchy bamboo shoots
You're invited to the Ping-Pong Ball
In the Chinese Wombling Ping-Pong-Ball Hall
You're invited to the Ping-Pong Ball
In the Chinese Wombling Ping-Pong-Ball Hall...
