Much as I love China and the Chinese people, I can never come to terms with the constant spitting so prevalent in this country. I wrote this little song on my recent trip to Guizhou province.
Lyrics:
...Please don`t spit.
...Please don`t spit.
...It`s not very nice to see.
...Please don`t spit.
...Please don`t spit.
...Please don`t spit near me.
Standing on a Chinese station,
All I hear is expectoration,
Not a very appetizing sound.
While I`m waiting for my train
Gobs of mucus fall like rain,
Making a mucky mine-field of the ground.
Whenever I go out for a walk
People clear their throats and hawk,
Spitting, spitting, spitting all around.
Spitting on the train,
Spitting on the bus,
On the restaurant floor
In front of us.
Spitting, spitting
Spitting everywhere
A sudden gust of wind
Can blow it in your hair.
...Please don`t spit on me.
Beijing`s streets are just as spitty
As any other Chinese city.
Efforts to keep them clean have come to nought.
Olympics are coming in `08,
So now if you expectorate
You`ll be fined a lot of money - if you`re caught.
But habits are hard to change you know.
So why not just go with the flow
And make spitting a new Olympic sport?
