[Verse 1]
Harmful elements in the air
Cymbals crashing everywhere
Reaps the field of rice and reeds
While the population feeds
Junk floats on polluted water
An old custom to sell your daughter
Would you like number 23?
Leave your yens on the counter, please

[Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Whoa, oh
La la la la, la la la
Whoa, oh
Hong Kong Garden

[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
Whoa, oh
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Whoa, oh
Hong Kong Garden

[Outro]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Whoa, oh
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Whoa, oh
Hong Kong Garden
Whoa, oh
Hong Kong Garden
