Yerrow Face
(Tony Asaro)
Lyrics by Tony asaro, Music by Vadim Feichtner
From "Women of Colors"
YERROW FACE.
YERROW FACE.
ASIAN ACTOR MUST EMBRACE
YERROW FACE.
MAKE SURE SQUINTING JUST IN CASE.
HOPE YOUR FRONT TEETH HAVE BIG SPACE!
YERROW FACE.
YERROW FACE.
YERROW FACE.
MAKING MONEY OFF YOUR RACE.
YERROW FACE.
ROLES ON BROADWAY NEED REPRACE.
YOUR WHOLE FAM’RY IS DISGRACE.
YERROW FACE.
IF WE RUCKY,
WE GET CAST IN CHINGY-CHONGY PARODY,
IF WE RUCKY.
IF WE RUCKY.
WRITERS WRITING PENTATONIC MERODY.
IF WE RUCKY.
IF WE RUCKY,
EAST/WEST PLAYERS GIVE COMMISSION.
IF WE RUCKY.
RIGHT-SKINNED SPANISH NO AUDITION.
BUT ONRY IF WE REARRY, REARRY RUCKY.
YERROW FACE.
YERROW FACE.
BIND YOUR CHEST, AND CINCH YOUR WAIS'.
YERROW FACE.
POUR HIBISCUS TEA WITH GRACE,
CASTING AGENT MAYBE CHASE
YOUR YERROW FACE.
IF WE RUCKY,
WE CAN CEREBRATE AND YOU CAN POUR US WINE.
IF WE RUCKY,
CUZ IF WE RUCKY,
WE GET CAST AS CONNIE WONG IN CHORUS RINE!
IN KENTUCKY…
IF WE RUCKY,
WE A HOOKER IN MISS SAIGON.
IF WE RUCKY,
RUN ERIZA! RUN FROM SIMON!
BUT ONRY IF WE REARRY REARRY RUCKY!

(Then, putting chopsticks in her hair, she says in perfect English)
Just bring me the fucking kimono.
