A Chinese Romance

You, what subject do you like?

I, I like Chinese.

Why do you like Chinese?

Because I find it very interesting. Eh!

Writing characters, speaking Mandarin,

Singing Chinese songs, that’s what I like to do.

Drinking Chinese tea, watching Chinese films,

Eating noodles and rice – it’s just so much fun!

History, geography, English, French, art, PE, music, science and maths,

Dab da-ba dab dab, every subject is interesting,

But my favourite is Chinese, it is Chinese,

My favourite is Chinese, doodle doo doo doo doo doo doo, yeah!
