Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Harmful elements in the air
Symbols crashing everywhere
Reaps the fields of rice and reeds
While the population feeds
Junk floats on polluted water
An old custom to sell your daughter
Would you like number twenty-three?
Leave your yens on the counter please
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Hong Kong Garden
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Hong Kong Garden
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Tourists swarm to see your face
Confucius has a puzzling grace
Disorientated, you enter in
Unleashing scent of wild jasmine
Slanted eyes meet a new sunrise
A race of bodies small in size
Chicken chow mein and chop suey
Hong Kong Garden takeaway
[Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Hong Kong Garden
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Written by: John McKay, Kenny Morris, Siouxie Sioux, Steven Severin
