Tell Hanoi I Love Her
No No Boy
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 lettin’ go, now that’s the bodhisattva’s sin
I named my Chrysler after Ho Chi Minh
Tell Hanoi I love her
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-do-do-do
Doo-doo-do-doo-doo-do-do-do
Do-do-do
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

No-No Boy
I dream of jokes or 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
Doo-doo-do-do-do
Do-do-do-doo-do-do-do-do-do
Doo-doo-do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
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 nothin’ sadder than some gook with an American dream
Sometimes I think the most communist things
Tell Hanoi I love her
Tell Hanoi I love her
Tell Hanoi I love her
