about

A song about mixed marriages and the ways of love and life as inspired by the people here in Vung Tau, Vietnam

lyrics

Where does it go from here, thought he,
Spying his wife on a customer’s knee.
The story is old, old as this town;
I took her from whoring, now she’s a clown.

A child she gave me, at first a joy,
’Til spoiled as a precious toy.
I taught her well the kitchen arts,
Which she repays with fits and starts.

‘A bore is he, bookish and bald,’
Sighed she at the cards, a low hand called.
The girls at the table bid her: ‘No,
Say not so, cause your are rolling in dough.’

‘Yes, indeed, I’m a well-kept cook,
Pawn in a castle, a queen overlooked.
Send me O send me back to the bar,
To each spender there, I am a star.

CHORUS
Bless the blend of East and West
The open join of jaws and jest
bless the chain, bless the link.
then curse freedom down the sink

Is this the meeting of never twain?
Ask the pipe below the drain
the key to any wedlock's tug
is in the hand that pulls the plug
