A song about China, written from the point of view of a character who is possibly racist, and certainly utterly clueless.
During live shows, Newman would introduce the song as “a pinhead’s view of China.”
Yellow Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Very far away in a foreign land
Live the yellow woman and the yellow man
He's been around for many-a-year
They say they were there before we were here
[Bridge]
Eatin' rice all day
While the children play
You see he believes in the family
Just like you and me
[Verse 2]
Oh, yellow man, oh, yellow man
We understand, you know we understand
He keeps his money tight in his hand
With his yellow woman, he's a yellow man
[Outro]
Got to have a yellow woman
When you're a yellow man
