TALASIAN

The day my baby was born it was a very special occasion 

The nurse looked at my wife and asked her if I was an Asian
I laughed and said oh please do I look like i'm japanese
She said the boy can't go I said domo arigato mr roboto

 I'd be Bruce Lee if I take him home with me
 And I'd be Jackie Chan and fight of every Asian man
 I'd be Chairman Mao a communistic cow
I'd be Atilla the Hun if you'd just give me my son

I'd eat without a fork
 I'd eat sweet and sour pork
Eat old eggs from Vietnam
And us an ancient Chinese balm
I'd change my name to Miyagi
And teach Ralph Machio karate
I'd do tai chi everyday
That's what confuciuos say

I'd be Bruce Lee if I take him home with me
And I'd be Jackie Chan and fight of every Asian man
 I'd be Chairman Mao a communistic cow
I'd be Atilla the Hun if you'd just give me my son

Domo arigato mr roboto domo arigato give me vato
Domo arigato mr roboto domo arigato give me vato
 Domo arigato mr roboto domo arigato give me vato
Domo arigato mr roboto domo arigato give me vato

I'd be Bruce Lee if I take him home with me
And I'd be Jackie Chan and fight of every
Asian man I'd be Chairman Mao a communistic cow
I'd be Atilla the Hun if you'd just give me my son

July 1999: When Talmage was born the nurse brought him to Elaine, looked around for me, and then asked if the father was oriental. True Story July 2011: I wrote this song for Talmage about when he was born.
