Well I heard a story, you can judge it's worth About the sun and the moon the time they came down to earth They pass in the heavens each day up above Time after time they soon became old They could not touch, they could not kiss They had no flesh, no earthly bliss So they made a scheme, they made a plan They would come down to earth as a woman and a man And took human forms to live out a dream The most beautiful people that I've ever seen They were the Peking king and the New York queen I said the Peking king and the New York queen As fate would have it it was a toss of a dice They went to opposite ends of this world with our lives Opposite eyes, opposite minds Such things matter in these troubled times "We read a book from right to left" "You read a book from the left to the right!" "We see a rabbit in the moon" "When you look at the moon, It's a man on the moon" "Raw fish is very tasty, thank you" "Eating raw fish is disgusting" "Buddah is the only way" "Jesus is the fun way" "Communism!" "Democracy!" "East is red" "Better dead than red!" Peking in the east, New York in the west Each say that they are the best About the sun and the moon and their earthly quest Knew without a doubt that it was all the best They said what does it matter how you read a book It's all the same no matter how it looks Well the only thing important to the Peking king Was feeding in the arms of his New York queen Thousands of miles, they were so far apart How to get together, where to start On the California zipper and the Shanghai express He headed to Hong Kong, she headed out west No passports, no visas, no government quotas No red tape no red guard could stop the dream of the Peking king and the New York Queen I said the Peking king and the New York queen So the found a little lot in the field of dreams It was a perfect little place to live our dream East is east, west is west 'Cause you're invited to the wedding to share a dream Of the Peking king and the New York queen Peking king and the New York queen You're invited to the wedding and to share in a dream You're invited to the wedding and to share in a dream Of the Peking king and his New York queen You're invited to the wedding and to share in a dream You're invited to the wedding and to share in a dream Of the sun and the moon Peking king and New York queen
