Steamed

(Sung to the tune of Frozen - the dim sum version (btw, food terms are in Cantonese ;-))

The steam grows hot in the basket today
not a customer to be seen. 
An eatery in isolation 
who the hell will come and eat?
The burner is howling like a swirling storm inside.
Gosh, I'm puffing up, couldn't keep it in
Please open the lid and peek inside
Take us out and then you know
We are more then just for show!

Har gau so, har gau so
G cheong fun and wu tau go
Har gau so, har gau so
Seu cheng bao and mah tai go
I don't care, what people say
Just put me on a tray and push me around

It's funny how chicken legs 
are often called fung chao
And the pork ribs refer to
some pai kuat sin or saint
It's time they call a spade a spade
so we all know what we have on our plate
No fancy names, no innuendos
We're free

Har gau so, har gau so
Go eat get wind and fly
Har gau so, har gau so
Eat the chilli sob and cry
Here I'll stay, beneath another tray
Let the steam burner rage on

My spoon flurry through my porridge
and drop onto the floor
The waiter picks it up and asks 
if I want some more
A dim sum thought crystallizes into one big bao
I'm never going back, after an Amy Yip Big Bao!

Har gau so, har gau so
I'll rise at the break of dawn
Har gau so, har gau so
That plate of g cheong fun is gone
Here I sit, happy as bird

Let the steamer hum on
Dim sum constipation never hurt anyone
