DIM SUM PARADISE lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh-ho
It's dinner time on Friday night
And I've been good all week
My body's ready, I'm getting it something good to eat
Don't want Italian, Indian, Portuguese or Greek
I have something tastier in mind
I hop the bus and now I'm rushing
Down to Chinatown
I tell the driver: "Put the pedal to the metal now"
T minus 11 minutes
Until we're touchin' down
Fantasizing about my first bite

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh and my tummy's rumblin'
There's nothin' in there
But tell me if you want some
They make it to share
And you could live a long life baby, but
You haven't lived until you go

[Chorus]
I know that it might sound crazy, but
My favorite place on earth is
Dim Sum Paradise, and
You could live a long life baby, but
You haven't lived until the Dim Sum Paradise
And my favorite parts
When they bring the food
Out on the cute little carts
And everybody knows (That)
You could live a long life baby, but
You haven't lived until the Dim Sum Paradise

[Verse 2]
And there's a thirty-minute wait but I'm invited in
Not cuz I'm charming, I just came here with my Chinese friend
They told me, "Wah! It's crazy here every night"
They give you a different menu if they know you are white
And I'm shocked
I put my head down and walk
I take a peek into the kitchen and I see them heating up all the woks
They got pork
It's the best in New York and of course
They bring my friends their chopsticks and they ask if I want a fork
I said sure

[Pre-Chorus]
And I could smell all the food
I would grab the cart myself, but I think that'd be rude
All I know's if they don't bring some plates of dim sum soon
I'll groan
[Chorus]
I know that it might sound crazy, but
My favorite place on earth is
Dim Sum Paradise, and
You could live a long life baby, but
You haven't lived until the Dim Sum Paradise

When the food rolls around
Don't worry 'bout where you sit
Because the tables are round
And everybody knows (That)
You could live a long life baby, but
You haven't lived until the Dim Sum Paradise

[Bridge]
They got dumplings, and noodles, and rice, so
Pass me the shumai
And the plates are so little I'm
Eating every bit of it tonight

With each and every bite (And every bite)
My taste buds burst like a distant star (A distant star)
I ascend to paradise

[Chorus]
I know that it might sound crazy, but
My favorite place on earth is
Dim Sum Paradise, and
You could live a long life baby, but
You haven't lived until the Dim Sum Paradise
Umami drives me to tears
And it's stood the test of time for
Over thousands of years
So, you already know (That)
You could live a long life baby, but
You haven't lived until the Dim Sum Paradise
