[Verse 1]
DI wrote all Penny’s lines and her song, you know
DI even sang her part up on the demo
But when it’s Bmtime to cast the Gshow
Did they Bmwant somebody Gmyellow - hell Dno -Gno-Do-o-Go.
[Chorus]
BmNobody’s Asian in the Gmovies
BmNobody’s Asian on GTV
BmIf there is a part there fAor us
It’s the gEroupie in the cAhorus
That’s Dme
[Verse 2]
DI begged and pleaded Gplease don’t pass me Dby
DThey say, hey give us a hand
Go Gstand in the back with tDhat fat Gguy
My Bmrole, though be it Gbrief
At least it Bmisn’t Viet GmCong, it’s comic reDlief
[Chorus]
BmNobody’s Asian in the Gmovies
BmNobody’s Asian on GTV
BmIf there is a part there fAor us
It’s a Emninja, a physGician
Or Emgoofy mathematF#mician
Or Ggroupie in the cAhorus
DThat’s me G D G
[Bridge]
AWho do they want before they Dwant an Asian?
A AMexican D
AWho do they want before they Dwant an Asian?

AWho do they want before they Dwant an Asian?
DA Persian, or a ACajun, or an IBmndian
Or an American-IEndian played by a F#Mexican
Or if you’re lGucky someone AAsian
Like Dme G D G D
JED: (spoken) GBut MauDrissa, GmovieDs couldn’t even be made without Asians.
We need them to play the parts we’re not willing to.
MAURISSA: (Gspoken) You’reD right, Jed!
[Chorus]
BmWithout the Asians in the Gmovies
BmWithout Asians on GmTV
Who’d play the Dgoofy mathematAician
The compBbuter technGician
A wDise old healer from JaApan
A short but Bbwealthy businessBmman
GSell Korean groceAries
Do your Bblaundry thank you, pBmrrease
We’re the Emvictims of a F#mcrime
We’ll be lEmoving you long tF#mime
If your mGovie is a F#mbore just
Watch the gGroupie in the cAhorus
DThat’s me G
[Outro]
