\tVERSE 1<\/strong>
\tYeah, yeah I’m up at Beida, now I’m down in Guomao
\tStarted as a student, but I run the show now
\tI’m the nouveau expat, livin’ in the CBD,
\tRidin’ on my dianpingche\uff08\u7535\u74f6\u8f66diàn pín\u0261 ch\u0113\uff1aelectric vehicle \uff09<\/strong>, everybody stares at me.
\tAin’t because I’m laowai, probably cause I’m handsome,
\tYeah I’m the only pimp wearin’ seer-sucker pants, and,
\tDid my share of modeling, acted with Ge You\uff08\u845b\u4f18\uff09.
\tDroppin’ mad tracks I be hotter than Jay Chou\uff08\u5468\u6770\u4f26\uff09.
\tCruisin’ down to Houhai, people drivin’ slow I
\tCan’t believe the traffic or the awful drivin’ so I
\tHop onto the subway, the smell it ain’t so lovely,
\tBut at just 2 kuai I don’t mind gettin’ cuddly.
\tSay what up to Jintao, Hu defines the in crowd,
\tBut don’t forget Jiabao, Wen he goin’ change his hairstyle?
\tMy boys be chillin’, over there in Zhongnanhai,
\tWhen I get an invite, then I’ll know that I’ve arrived in, in, in…<\/p>\n

\tCHORUS<\/strong>
\tIn Beijing, commie jungle where dreams are made of
\tThere’s nothing you can do now you’re in Beijing.
\tTaiqi will make you feel brand new
\tThe sights will inspire you, let’s hear it for Beijing, Beijing, Beijing.<\/p>\n

\tVERSE 2<\/strong>
\tCatch me wid my boys at Gongti at a Guo’an game
\tI made the Guo’an shirt more famous than the Guo’an can.
\tYeah I watch the Dragons, courtside at the Ducks
\tEven though the halftime dancing show really sucks.
\tBut that ain’t important, that ain’t why I came here.
\tI came for the history, like the Tiananmen Square.
\tForbidden City, hutongs always gritty,
\tTiantan is hoppin’, dancin’ like P. Diddy.
\t15 million people, half the dudes are naked,
\tPullin’ up their shirts cause the summers they can’t take it.
\tLong fingernail, pinky on the right hand,
\tCause the left won’t pick your ears\uff08\u6316\u8033\u6d1ew\u0101 \u011brdòn\u0261\uff09<\/strong> as well as the right one can
\tBabies on the prowl, defecating on the pavement
\tI just wanna scowl, sayin’, “Son, why don’t you save it?”
\tBut that’s the way it is, that’s how we do it here,
\tIf you don’t like it, you’re welcome to steer clear of, of, of<\/p>\n

\tCHORUS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tVERSE 3<\/strong>
\tMigrants come here, kids are shunned here,
\tCan’t get a hukou, outta pocket health care,
\tNo fear, they leave the kids for the year,
\tGrandparents take care, no one sheds a tear.
\tGaokao’s over, pressure done abated,
\tOff to university, to get educated.
\tBut he becomes jaded, after’s graduated,
\tCause he can’t find a job that’s well compensated.
\tSo he hops on renren\uff08\u4eba\u4eba\u7f51\uff09, he surfs kaixin wang\uff08\u5f00\u5fc3\u7f51\uff09
\tAnd he gets on Baidu, to download my song.
\tHead to Dongdan, hoop it up, forget your problems
\tA plate of hot jiaozi on the corner might solve them.
\tWe come here with dreams, then reality hits us,
\tBendi\uff08\u672c\u5730b\u011bn dì\uff1athis locality\uff09, waidi\uff08\u5916\u5730wài dì\uff1aforeign lands\uff09, laowai\uff08\u8001\u5916l\u01ceo wài\uff1aforeigner\uff09,drifters\uff08\u5317\u6f02b\u011bi pi\u0101o\uff09,
\tBut we love the energy, that’s why this city’s great,
\tSo we all work late to “protect the Eight” (\u4fdd\u516bb\u01ceo b\u0101)<\/strong> in, in, in…<\/p>\n

\tCHORUS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tBRIDGE<\/strong>
\tOne hand in the air for the old city
\tGugong, Bird’s Nest\uff08\u9e1f\u5de2ni\u01ceo cháo\uff09<\/strong> all looking pretty.
\tNo place in the world that can compare,
\tFly your kites in the air,
\tEverybody say yeah, yeah…<\/p>\n

\tCHORUS  <\/strong><\/p>\n
