Chow Mein - The Gaylords

No more chow mein

Yakamein bean sprout

No more lychee nut wonton soup

No more Louie

Bring a bowl of suey

No more kissing

In the yellow booth

I could cry all night in sorrow

I could moan all day in pain

'Cause the Chinaman gave the place up

And my life just ain't the same

If I live at all

It will be in vain

'Cause what is this life

If there's no chow mein

No more chow mein

Yakamein bean sprout

No more lychee nut wonton soup

No more Louie

Bring a bowl of suey

No more kissing

In the yellow booth

There's a fortune teller lady

Crying in her fortune cakes

'Cause the Chinaman gave the place up

Now she shivers and she shakes

If she lives at all

It will be in vain

'Cause what is this life

If there's no chow mein

No more chow mein

Yakamein bean sprout

No more lychee nut wonton soup

No more Louie

Bring a bowl of suey

No more kissing

In the yellow booth

Now my love and I remember

How we spent our flaming youth

Eating egg foo young and kissing

In the red and yellow booth

If we live at all

It will be in vain

'Cause what is this life

If there's no chow mein

No more chow mein

Yakamein bean sprout

No more lychee nut wonton soup

No more Louie

Bring a bowl of suey

No more kissing

In the yellow booth

If the Chinaman don't

Come back I think I'll die
