Asians Eat Weird Things by The Fung Brothers Lyrics
[Chorus: AJ Rafael]
So I told her like, "oooooh, baby"
I know that it looks crazy, but actually it's tasty
I'm talkin' 'bout food, me and my friends eat weird things unlike you
Part of my culture, it's just how we do
(oooo-oooh)
I know that it sounds crazy, but it's okay, I'm Asian!
[Verse 1: Andrew Fung aka INGLISH]
I'm like "Girl, whatcha eatin' for today?"
Put that bread down, let's go and run away
'Cause I'm Asian, I don't know if you could tell
I eat a few things Applebee's don't sell
Ever had dim sum in the morning light?
I know this chicken feet ain't lookin' very nice
But if you taste it, I know you'll really like
Eat the skin but leave the bones aiighht?
Look at me, look at me, eating tripe now
Look at you, look at you, this is life now
It's fresh, more organic than fast food
You could say it looks a lot more natural
No, this egg ain't a hundred years old
And no, this cabbage ain't got no mold
And I was hoping she would have a taste
She took one bite and made a face
[Chorus: AJ Rafael]
So I'm talkin' like, "oooooh, baby"
You're so amazed by everything that I eat
So I told her like "oooooh, baby"
I know that it look crazy, but at least I know it's tasty
I'm talkin' 'bout food, we got different social norms than you
Part of my culture, it's just how we do
She said, "I don't like this platter"
I'd probably win fear factor!
[Verse 2: David Fung aka D-ONE]
Yeah, yeah, I said "Girl, whatcha eat during weekdays?"
She said "Salad and pasta, each day!"
But what about Asian food?
You never get the chance 'cause you never date Asian dudes!
She said, "I liked the weird stuff growing up, but stopped in high school it wasn't cool enough
'Cause you can't serve blood cubes at prom
And stinky tofu just sounds wrong!"
Stop pretendin', you don't like it fermented
I admit, the smell can be offensive
But it tastes so good that you won't need another man
Let the flavors take you back to the motherland
So I can take you back to my mother, and
She can teach you how to cook without butter, and
"What do you mean I'm being patriarchal?"
"Oh-oh, I mean, I can cook"
[Chorus: AJ Rafael]
So I told her like "oooooh, baby"
You'll be amazed by everything that I eat
So I told her like "oooooh, baby"
I know that it looks crazy, but I'm tellin' you it's tasty
It's balut, there's a duck embryo inside, just look
No offense to beat it but it's good
I told you it looks crazy, but you know that it's so tasty
[Bridge: Andrew/INGLISH and David/D-ONE]
From Manila to Hong Kong
Bangkok, Tokyo, Taiwan
Seoul, Singapore, Saigon
Jakarta, Beijing, there's more
Phnom Penh, Kuala Lumpur
Eat it up, baby, that's raw
Hell no, we ain't eatin' no dogs, the most exotic it gets is frogs
[Chorus: AJ Rafael]
So I told her like "oooooh, baby"
It's not amazin' all the things that we eat
So I told her like 'oooooh, baby'
I know that it looks crazy, but it's probably 'cause we're Asian!
I'm talkin' bout food
We got different social norms than you
Can't change my culture, it's just how we do
She told me it looks crazy
I said, "It's okay, I'm Asian!"
[Outro: AJ Rafael]
Yup!
So I told her like, "oooooh, baby"
