Well, I heard a story you can judge it's worth
|
About the sun and the moon
|
This time they came down to earth
|
|
They passed in the heavens each day up above
|
Time after time and it soon became love
|
|
They could not touch, they could not kiss
|
They had no flesh, no earthly bliss
|
|
So they made a scheme, they made a plan
|
They would come down to earth as a woman and a man
|
|
She rode a lunar wave, he flew a solar beam
|
They took on human forms to live out a dream
|
|
The most beautiful people that I've ever seen
|
They were the Peking King and the New York Queen
|
I said the Peking King and the New York Queen.
|
|
As fate would have it in the toss of the dice
|
They went to opposite ends of this world of our lives
|
Opposite eyes, opposite minds
|
Such things matter in these troubled times.
|
|
Peking in the East and New York in the West
|
Each place thought that it was the best
|
But the sun and the moon on their earthly quest
|
Knew without a doubt that it was all the best
|
|
They said what does it matter how you read a book
|
It's all the same no matter how it looks.
|
|
Well the only thing important to the Peking King
|
Was bein' in the arms of his New York Queen
|
|
Thousand of miles, they were so far apart
|
How to get together? Oh, where to start?
|
|
On the California Zephyr and the Shanghai Express
|
He headed to Hong Kong, she headed out west.
|
|
No passports, no visas, no government quotas
|
No secret missile sites in South Dakota
|
|
No red tape, no red guard could stop the dream
|
Of the Peking King and the New York Queen
|
I said, the Peking King and the New York Queen
|
|
Well they found a little island in the Phillipines
|
It was a perfect little place to live out a dream
|
They say East is East, West is West
|
They say the twain won't meet, but don't you take that bet
|
|
'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream
|
Of the Peking King and the New York Queen
|
The Peking King and the New York Queen.
|
|
'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream
|
'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream
|
Of the Peking King and the New York Queen
|
The Peking King and the New York Queen.
|
|
You're invited to the wedding of the sun and the moon
