If you want a fancy fan, or a turkey born in Turkestan
Or a slave that's awfully African, or a teapot early ming
Come to the supermarket in Old Peking
If you want to buy a kite, or a pup to keep you up at night
Or a dwarf who used to know Snow White, or a frog who loves to sing
Come to the supermarket in Old Peking
They have, sunflower cakes, moonbeam cakes
Gizzard cakes, lizard cakes
Pickled eels, pickle snakes fit for any king
If you want a bust of jade, or an egg that's more or less decayed
Or in case, you care to meet a maid for a nice but naughty fling
Come to the supermarket
If you come on an ostrich, you can park it
So come to the supermarket and see Peking
If you want a gong to beat or a rickshaw with a sassy seat
Or a painting slightly indiscreet that is simply riveting
Come to the supermarket and see Peking
Well, if you want some calico, or a gentle water buffalo
Glowworm guaranteed to glow, or a cloak inclined to cling
Come to the supermarket in Old Peking
They have birds-nest soup, seaweed soup
Noodle soup, poodle soup
Talking crows with the croup
Almost anything!
If you want to buy a saw, or a fish delicious when it's raw
Or a pill to kill your mother-in-law, or a bee without a sting
Come to the supermarket
If you come on a turtle, you can park it
So come to the supermarket
If you come on a goose, you can park it
So come to the supermarket
And see Peking!
