Lyrics Fried Rice Paradise - Dick Lee

I′ve got a friend, her name Bee Lean
She told me, she told me
That one day she would make it big
Looked around, in Chinatown
Tried her luck in People's Park
Selling rings and things from China
Only 10 cents, come and buy lah
But her products couldn′t last
Poor girl didn't know what to do

So she moved her load to Orchard Road
She told me, she told me
That she could try again from there
Had a fling in waitress-ing
Disco dancing not her thing
Everyday she say leh-ceh
I better find an old towkay
Looked around and met a clown
Who gave her love and money too

So what did she do?

She opened
Fried Rice Paradise
Nasi Goreng, very nice
That's her speciality
Ninety-nine varieties
Fried Rice Paradise
"Shiok" is how it′s been described

Booked a table? Very wise
That is what I would do, to jump the queue

Four years passed, went very fast
She told me, she told me
She had to grow a little more
Scouted ′round in Queenstown, Marine Parade and Hougang
Then on contemplating further, thought of Nasi Goreng burgers.
Opened shops, they all were flops
Poor girl didn't know what to do
So what did she do?

Went back to
Fried Rice Paradise
Nasi Goreng, very nice
That′s her speciality
Ninety-nine varieties

Fried Rice Paradise
"Shiok" is how it's been described
Booked a table? Very wise
That is what I would do

Woah-oh woah-oh Chao Fan Baby
Yeah Chao Fan Baby
You′re my Chao Fan Baby
Nice hot Chao Fan Baby
Baby!
You ma-ke me crazy!
Satay is quite okay

Gado-gado's so-so anyway
Or-luak?
Oh yuck!
What else can I say?
But I like my Chao Fan anyday!

Maybe you got Kway Teow blues
I tell you, I tell you
That there′s a place for you to try
Where the chap is so sedap

Sambal Belachan's number 1
By far the most delicious
Chao Fan beneath the sun
And the rest is only best
Bee Lean's waiting there for you
So what do you do?

You go to
Fried Rice Paradise

Nasi Goreng, very nice
That′s her speciality
Ninety-nine varieties
Fried Rice Paradise
"Shiok" is how it′s been described
Booked a table? Very wise
That is what I would do

Fried Rice Paradise
Nasi Goreng, very nice
That's her speciality
Ninety-nine varieties
Fried Rice Paradise
"Shiok" is how it′s been described
Booked a table? Very wise
That is what I would do
If I were you!
