joss whedon - nobody's asian in the movies lyrics

Loading...

[maurissa]
i wrote all penny’s lines and her song, you know
i even sang her part up on the demo
but when it’s time to cast the show
did they want somebody yellow – h-ll no

n-body’s asian in the movies
n-body’s asian on tv
if there is a part there for us
it’s the groupie in the chorus
that’s me

i begged and i pleaded, “please don’t p-ss me by,”
they say, “hey, give us a hand —
go stand in the back with that fat guy.”
my role, albeit brief, at least
it isn’t viet cong, it’s comic relief

n-body’s asian in the movies
n-body’s asian on tv
if there is a part there for us
it’s a ninja, a physician
or goofy mathematician
or groupie in the chorus
that’s me

who do they want before they want an asian?
a mexican
who do they want before they want an asian?
a black
who do they want before they want an asian?
a persian, or a cajun, or an indian
or an american-indian played by a mexican
or if you’re lucky someone asian
like me

[jed]
but maurissa, movies couldn’t even be made without asians
we need them to play the parts we’re not willing to

[maurissa]
you’re right, jed!

without the asians in the movies
without asians on tv
who’d play the goofy mathematician
the computer technician
a wise old healer from j-pan
a short but wealthy businessman
sell korean groceries
do your laundry, thank you, prrease
we’re the victims of a crime
we’ll be loving you long time
if your movie is a bore just
watch the groupie in the chorus
that’s me

[maurissa]
i guess my parents will be proud of me after all

[jed]
what does your dad do again?

[maurissa]
oh! he’s a nerdy, funny scientist
