Subject: Lyr Add: When the Ice is on the Rice
The next song is parody on "The Moonlight's Fair Tonight Along the Walbash".
We called it "When the Ice is on the Rice" and that goes:
When the ice is on the rice along the Yalu,
And the Chinaman is looking down on you,
You can bet your ass I won't be there beside you
I'll be sitting on my bum in Uijeongbu.
In Uijeongbu.

Transcribed from the singing of John Frushour recording January 13, 2004.
