Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Started in China, lordy, you headed to my back yard, lordy
Comin' off the boat, headed up 'cross the land, lordy
Tellin' me that you lookin' like a yellow man, lordy
Down to Louisiana, headed up to Michigan, lordy
[Chorus]
Yellow peril, yellow peril
Yellow peril, man
Yellow peril, yellow peril
Yellow peril, man
[Verse 2]
Wanna go to college but they saying you just a little too smart, Charley
Nothing 'gainst you, but it's all about who you are, sorry
Tellin' me that you got eyes that a-look like mine, brother
Better move down the line and try to find another
[Chorus]
Yellow peril, yellow peril
Yellow peril, man
Yellow peril, yellow peril
Yellow peril, man
[Verse 3]
Everywhere I been, somebody bein' abused
Never gonna win, some of us are born to lose, oh, that's right
Just wanna have a little fun before we die
Never ever was no difference 'tween you and I, oh
[Chorus]
Yellow peril, yellow peril
Yellow peril, man
Yellow peril, yellow peril
Yellow peril, man, yeah, man, woo
[Instrumental]
Okay
