Very far away in a foreign land 
Lives the yellow woman and the yellow man 
He's been around for many-a-year 
They say they were there before we were here 
Eatin' rice all day while the children play 
You see, he believes in the family just like you and me
 
Oh, yellow man, oh, yellow man 
We understand, you know we understand 
Ata, ata, ata, ta, ta, ta
Ata, ata, ata, ta, ta, ta
Ata, ata, ata, ta, ta, ta
He keeps his money tight in his hand 
With his yellow woman he's a yellow man 
Got to have a yellow woman 
When you're a yellow man
