Ay-yi-yi-yi,
In China they never grow chili
So sing one more verse
that's worse than the first
Be sure that it's foolish and silly.
A canner exceedingly canny
One morning remarked to his granny
A canner can can
Anything that he can
But a canner can't can a can, can he?
Ay-yi-yi-yi,
In China they never grow chili
So sing one more verse
that's worse than the first
Be sure that it's foolish and silly.
A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to tutor two Tudors to toot
Said the two to the tutor
Is it tougher to toot, or
To tutor two tooters the flute?
Ay-yi-yi-yi,
In China they never grow chili
So sing one more verse
that's worse than the first
Be sure that it's foolish and silly.
A flea and a fly in a flue,
Were stuck there, so what could they do?
Said the fly, "Let us flee!",
Said the flea, "Let us fly!",
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
Ay-yi-yi-yi,
In China they never grow chili
So sing one more verse
that's worse than the first
Be sure that it's foolish and silly.
