Thread Name: Lyr Add: Albert Edward Liu, ja!
Subject: Lyr Add: Albert Edward Liu, ja!
As my wife and I were riding the bus this afternoon, I began singing a spontaneous song that I soon recognized as a Chinese-American relative of "My name is Yon Yonson" recently discussed here. This is, I'm pretty sure, 100% my own inspired baby, and the tune is of course of my own creation (NOT):

Albert Edward Liu, ja

This is a song by or about a Chinese-American raised among Norwegian immigrants, Albert Edward Liu by name. You probably know the tune, if so, feel free to join in...

Al E. Liu? Al E. Liu! Al E. Liu? Al E. Liu, ja, dot is me name.
Al E. Liu? Al E. Liu! Al E. Liu? Al E. Liu, ja, dot is me name.
Dot is me name: Al E. Liu; ja, dot is me name: Al E. Liu; ja,
Dot is me name: Al E. Liu, ja, dot is me name!

Scary, eh?
