The Lyrics

Ground Control to Mao Tse Tung
Ground Control to Mao Tse Tung
Take your protein pills and eat some fried wontons
Ground Control to Mao Tse Tung
Commencing buffets, pounds go on
Check with Beijing and may God's love be with you
(spoken)
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control to Mao Tse Tung
You've really off the ground...
And the papers want to know who's work you share
Now it's time to leave in exile, if you dare

"This is Mao Tse Tung to Ground Control
wow goo tai fee no moah
and wai froating heah eena mose pacunita wai
and the stars and stripes rook different today
For here
Am I eating up my won tons
Far above the world
having spare ribs too
but I call them mo gai poo

Though I killed a hundred thousand guys
I'm really not bad still
And I think my government knows who else should go..
lets go killing at Tiannemen, oh No
Ground Control to Mao Tse Tung
Your circuit's dead, says Jai ling Wong
Can you hear me, Mao Tse Tung?
Can you hear me, Mao Tse Tung???

For here
Am I eating up my won tons
Far above the world
having spare ribs too
but I call them mo gai poo

Maybe if they left mao tsai tong alone to finish his won tons, he wouldn't have killed so many people! 555

Why are an odd number of people here spelling it "Mao Tse-Tung" rather than "Mao Zedong"? Hmmm...maybe I should parody this song as "Spelling Oddity".
