lyrics

Cantonese Blues

With Cantonese, I’m on my knees
I can’t get it into my head
I’m trying and I’m crying
Leaning Cantonese is a bitch.

The tones go up, the tones go down
The tones go round and round
Can’t get them right, try as I might
Leaning Cantonese is a bitch.

Hong Kong Chinese, oh help me please.
Don’t always speak to me in English.
Don’t use sign language or some such shit-ch
Leaning Cantonese is a bitch.

Yeah, Cantonese, it’s such a breeze
It blows right through my head
I can’t get better; I’m still a beginner
Leaning Cantonese is a bitch.

Sometimes I try, and people reply
I speak Cantonese but they speak English.
They look at my face, and see my race
Leaning Cantonese is a bitch.

So you Chinese, oh help me please.
Don’t always speak to me in English.
Don’t use sign language or some such shit-ch
Leaning Cantonese is a bitch.
