[Chorus]
Don’t play the mandolin (x6)
[Verse 1]
Once there was a Chinese restaurant
Selling food and beer from the Orient
The food was grand and Eileen liked it too
But every time we went there, there was a mandolin
Coming from the speakers
[Chorus]
Don’t play the mandolin (x6)
[Verse 2]
I’m not saying mandolins are shit
But after a while they do get on your tits
Especially when you hear one every time
You go out to dine with your other half
And it’s droning from the speakers
[Chorus]
Don’t play the mandolin (x12)
Do not play the mandolin
