Lyrics & Translation

[English]

M so good I want a cheeseburger this is

a special soup called f you told me not

to say that word it is delicious this is

the food of your people can I get you

anything else actually um we're just

trying to teach our daughter about your

country and as I'm saying that I'm

hoping you're from Vietnam I was born

there so was Lily oh it's a beautiful

country uh my family still lives there I

hate Vietnam Lily honey we don't hate I

hate Vietnam

um okay oh we need just a second L that

was rude I want to go home no it's

important that you celebrate the culture

of your ancestors you are Vietnamese no

I'm not I'm gay I'm gay honey no you're

not gay you are just confused oh my God

what is wrong with me it's like I oh

please we have tons of lesbian friends

God that you would reference our friends

and not us that's okay we should just go

no nobody's going anywhere until she

finishes the whole soup no Gloria it's

fine no no no it's not fine that's the

problem with this country nobody cares

where they come from they just want

cheeseburgers and prep school and they

have forgotten about

Colombia okay I can't help but feel that

maybe you're bringing something to the

table that's possibly uh not at all

about Lily I think you're right it's

just that I feel like I'm losing my

children to America they're just going

to grow up and become boring old white

people most of our friends are white I

actually okay can everybody just calm

down and go back to their own

conversations just thank you hey hey

what's going on with you Manny has

forgotten most of his Spanish and yo I'm

sure he's not even going to learn it I

know this is silly but I just don't like

feeling like I'm so different from the

rest of my family oh honey it feels so

lonely just a second Lily is that why

you want to be gay to be more like your

daddy's oh honey no the three of us our

family even though we come from

different places you know you were born

in Vietnam and I grew up in a city and

even though he never talks about it your

daddy grew up on a farm yeah the point

is is that we're a family because we

love each other okay and you know what

you just cost a scene in a restaurant

and you can't get any more like your

daddies than that maybe I'll just take

Manny and Joe to Columbia this summer I

think that's a great idea I really think

that keeping in touch with your heritage

only enriches our culture absolutely I

think we would all be better off if

people would go back to where they came

from I I'll pull the car around yes
