lyrics

Twice southern with two civil wars
A fool to think that this place could ever be yours
The in between, that’s where we must explore
Tell Hanoi I love her

Jenny’s mother in the nail salon
Bedazzled star-spangled t-shirt tiger mom
Saw the flag on my hat, told me to take it off
Tell Hanoi I love her

I keep no grudge against some Old World kin
Not letting go, now, that’s the bodhisattva’s sin
I named my Chrysler after Ho Chi Minh
Tell Hanoi I love her


I got an auntie, oh, but man alive
Last election cast a ballot for 45
If I’d seen what she’s seen, I might see her side
Tell Hanoi I love her

I dream of junks, oh, to sail away
Wash your feet on a beach in Ha Long Bay
My mother said once that’s where dragons lay
Tell Hanoi I love her


We bleed as cheap as our enemy
And we die just as needlessly
Once, I thought there was just one of me
Tell Hanoi I love her

Fumble with numbers, I just wanna sing
Ain’t nothing sadder than some gook with an American dream
Sometimes I think the most communist things…
Tell Hanoi I love her
