Lyrics Fried Rice Paradise - 李炳文

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

Moved along to Orchard Road
She told me, she told me
That she could try again from there
Had a fling at waitressing
Disco dancing not her thing
Everyday she say "Leychey 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 Rise Paradise
Nasi Goreng very nice
That's her specialty
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)

Two 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, what was there to do?
So what did she do?

Went back to Fried Rice Paradise
Nasi Goreng very nice
That's her specialty
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
Oooh Chao Fan baby
You're my Chao Fan baby
Nice hot Chao Fan baby (Baby)
Baby (Baby)
You make me crazy

Satay is quite okay
Gado-gado's so-so anyway
O-luak!
O-yuk!
What else can I say?
But I like my Chao Fan a-any day!

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 Belacan's number one
By far this is the most delicious Chao Fan beneath the sun
But 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 specialty
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 specialty
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!
