Chopsticks
written and performed by Joe Raposo
to the tune of "Chopsticks", of course!
I eat with chopsticks
Can you eat with chopsticks
Just pick up your chopsticks
And I'll teach you how
Some people use chopsticks
They always use chopsticks
So try out your chopsticks
Right now
Two little sticks
They're made out of wood
And they help you
To pick up your lunch
Your lunch
And if you practice
Then you'd get good
And you'll find you can pick up
A bunch to munch
Eat noodles with chopsticks
Eat dumplings with chopsticks
Eat sushi with chopsticks
That's fish!
Don't eat soup with your chopsticks
That's no good with chopsticks
And jello will slide off
Your dish
In faraway
Japan they use chopsticks
In China and also
In Singapore
Korean people
Like to use chopsticks
And also in Hong Kong
There's more!
And in New York
They also use chopsticks
You'll find them in Texas
And in L.A.
Yes, everywhere
Are folks who use chopsticks
They use them to eat
Every day!
I eat with chopsticks
Can you eat with chopsticks
Just pick up your chopsticks
And I'll teach you how
Lots of people use chopsticks
They always use chopsticks
So try out your chopsticks
Right now!
