| 作词 : Keen | |
| There were lean times, they were tough | |
| There were mean times they were rough | |
| And the good times didn’t outweigh the bad | |
| I was sad you were bitter | |
| But you were no quitter | |
| When nothin’ was all that we had | |
| We were drinkin’ a lot | |
| We were thinkin’ of tyin’ the knot | |
| Or maybe throw in the towel | |
| Make up have a kid | |
| Break up and we did | |
| But only just for awhile | |
| Then came lo mein and going insane | |
| At the Chinese cafe way downtown | |
| I was steamed | |
| I was fried but you stood by my side | |
| When I had my nervous breakdown | |
| There were noodles galore | |
| All over the floor | |
| And hot mustard sauce everywhere | |
| But I held your hand ‘til you calmed down again | |
| And picked out the rice in your hair | |
| After that we agreed | |
| When in fact what we need | |
| Is to pack up and take the first plane | |
| Take a bus take a bike | |
| Take care take a hike | |
| Take out but leave the lo mein | |
| I remember it now when we order kung pao | |
| And bow our heads to say grace | |
| The day we left town and that nervous breakdown | |
| At the all-you-can-eat | |
| Chinese place | |
| At the Chinese cafe way downtown |
