Lyrics
Verse 1
She was a Chinese waitress in a Greek restaurant She asked me in English what did I want?
I ordered the squid, with extra ink She just wrote it down, didn't even blink
All the other waiters got out of her way as she brought my food with her best sashay
When I thanked her, she gave a certain smile That sent me to heaven just a little while
Chorus 1
She's my Asian Liaison, in 3 course Harmony Like Yoko Ono with no the cacaphony
She's my Asian Liaison, my Greek Gastric Guide Somehow she tickles my Wild Side
Her English is as broken as a baby chix shell But if I understood her, it would break the spell
But if I understood her, it would break the spell
Verse 2
She was a Chinese waitress in a Greek restaurant She asked me in English what did I want?
I ordered fried octopus, with extra arms She just wrote it down, that's one of her charms
Before I knew it, I thought of her at work and at home at night, like a lovesick jerk
I asked for her number, but I think she miscontrued She brought me the menu for takeout food
Chorus 2
She serves me every Monday, she serves me in style She's my Asian Liaison with a ticklish smile
Her Chinese is perfect, her Greek is pretty good Her English is usually misunderstood
But the way she smiles when she brings my plate, Oh, I love the way we communicate
She gives a little bow when she brings the check I tip a little more for that, what the heck
I tip a little more for that, what the heck
Verse 3
Then one day a substitute She spoke perfect English, was very cute
Even wore a flowered tag with her name But somehow 'Evelyn' just wasn't the same
The moral of the story, if you don't already know is Restaurants come, restaurants go
But the one where she works, I've made it a my shrine I go there to worship her, not so much to dine
Chorus 3
Where's my Asian Liaison, I need my Harmony I can't eat without her, send her back to me
Without her I'm useless, I can't sleep at night I'm still looking for my appetite
She taught me how to handle Souvlaki sandwich She taught me to smile in a foreign language
She's my Asian Liaison, my Greek Comedy Like Yoko Ono with no the cacaphony
Her Greek is pretty good, but her English is broken Such a lotta love left unspoken
Let's all feel the love left unspoken Let's all speak the love left unspoken
