| The lyrics of Zhong 1 Guo 2 Hua 4. 扁担宽板凳长 扁担想绑在板凳上 扁担宽板凳长 扁担想绑在板凳上 伦敦玛莉莲 买了件旗袍送妈妈 莫斯科的夫司基 爱上牛肉面疙瘩 各种颜色的皮肤 各种颜色的头发 嘴里念的说的 开始流行中国话 多少年我们苦练 英文发音和文法 这几年换他们卷着舌头 学平上去入的变化 平平仄仄平平仄 好聪明的中国人 好优美的中国话 扁担宽板凳长 扁担想绑在板凳上 板凳不让扁担绑在板凳上 扁担偏要绑在板凳上 板凳偏偏不让扁担绑在那板凳上 到底扁担宽还是板凳长 (This is the tongue twister) 哥哥弟弟坡前坐 坡上卧着一只鹅 坡下流着一条河 哥哥说宽宽的河 弟弟说白白的鹅 鹅要过河河要渡鹅 不知是那鹅过河 还是河渡鹅 (This is another tongue twister) 全世界都在学中国话 孔夫子的话 越来越国际化 全世界都在讲中国话 我们说的话 让世界都认真听话 纽约苏珊娜 开了间禅风lounge bar 柏林来的沃夫冈 拿胡琴配着电吉他 各种颜色的皮肤 各种颜色的头发 嘴里念的说的 开始流行中国话 多少年我们苦练 英文发音和文法 这几年换他们卷着舌头 学平上去入的变化 仄仄平平仄仄平 好聪明的中国人 好优美的中国话 有个小孩叫信 上街打醋又买布 买了布打了醋 回头看见鹰抓兔 放下布搁下醋 上前去追鹰和兔 飞了鹰跑了兔 洒了醋湿了布 嘴说腿腿说嘴 嘴说腿爱跑腿 腿说嘴爱卖嘴 光动嘴不动腿 光动腿不动嘴 不如不长腿和嘴 到底是那嘴说腿 还是腿说嘴 (Still a tongue twister. But it is longer and harder than the previous two) 全世界都在学中国话 孔夫子的话 越来越国际化 全世界都在讲中国话 我们说的话 让世界都认真听话 全世界都在学中国话 孔夫子的话 越来越国际化 全世界都在讲中国话 我们说的话 让世界都认真听话 全世界都在学中国话 孔夫子的话 越来越国际化 全世界都在讲中国话 我们说的话 让世界都认真听话 对话ing.... |

| Al, it is available. I don't know if there is something wrong. If it doesn't work, you can search this song in google or Baidu. It is easy to find mp3 or video of this song. |

| You knew this song, Al? What do you think of SHE? Have you ever listened to other songs sung by them? In earlier time, SHE has resung many English songs. Really souds good. Now, they have become popular. Many composers create songs for them. So there is no need to sing the old songs. |

| I knew one or two songs from S.H.E. before. On top of my head: "Superstar" which everytime I hear, gets stuck in my head for a while..hehe! I think that they sound OK, but to be truely honest, a bit like other boys/gilrs bands..which is not really my style of music... I'm happy for their success in China though and I hope that many others will follow and have great success so that the whole world can get to know them as well. I just really hope that China retains it's own cultural flavor and do not get "poisoned" by the american music industry... I find it a shame to say those boys/girls bands being just a copy of what came out of the US... I hate to see the Wold's culture becoming as one; just one single music style coming from the same mold to fit the currently style and market... |

| GUESTSHERRY | I like Twelve Grils Band. They never sing songs, but they introduce our Chinese culture to all over the world by them own ways. |

| GUEST2058 | I am not fond of Twelve Girls Band. They just use Chinese traditional instruments to play pop music. |
