[Verse 1]
D I wrote all Penny’s lines and her song, you know D I even sang her part up on the demo Bm G But when it’s time to cast the show Bm Gm D G D G Did they want somebody yellow - hell no -no-o-o-o.
[Chorus]
Bm G Nobody’s Asian in the movies Bm G Nobody’s Asian on TV Bm A If there is a part there for us E A It’s the groupie in the chorus D That’s me
[Verse 2]
D G D I begged and pleaded please don’t pass me by D They say, hey give us a hand G D G Go stand in the back with that fat guy Bm G My role, though be it brief Bm Gm D At least it isn’t Viet Cong, it’s comic relief
[Chorus]
Bm G Nobody’s Asian in the movies Bm G Nobody’s Asian on TV Bm A If there is a part there for us Em G It’s a ninja, a physician Em F#m Or goofy mathematician G A Or groupie in the chorus D G D G That’s me
[Bridge]
A D Who do they want before they want an Asian? A D A Mexican A D Who do they want before they want an Asian? A A Black A D Who do they want before they want an Asian? D A Bm A Persian, or a Cajun, or an Indian E F# Or an American-Indian played by a Mexican G A Or if you’re lucky someone Asian D G D G D Like me G D G D JED: (spoken) But Maurissa, movies couldn’t even be made without Asians.
We need them to play the parts we’re not willing to.
G D MAURISSA: (spoken) You’re right, Jed!
[Chorus]
Bm G Without the Asians in the movies Bm Gm Without Asians on TV D A Who’d play the goofy mathematician Bb G The computer technician D A A wise old healer from Japan Bb Bm A short but wealthy businessman G A Sell Korean groceries Bb Bm Do your laundry thank you, prrease Em F#m We’re the victims of a crime Em F#m We’ll be loving you long time G F#m If your movie is a bore just G A Watch the groupie in the chorus D G That’s me
[Outro]
D G MAURISSA: (spoken) I guess my parents will be proud of me after all. D G JED: (spoken) What does your dad do again? D MAURISSA: (spoken) Oh! He’s a nerdy, funny scientist.

JOSS: (spoken) Isn't your dad a transpo guy?

MAURISSA: (spoken) Oh, like an Asian could do that. I'm gonna go in the corner and play my violin, and - math!
