Golden Lotus (Sounds from the Musical)
Waterlily Pavilion (feat. Leah Canali, Sarah Strange & Katie Beetham)
Black bears' paws so sweet
Tawny camel's chewy feet
Dragon-phoenix tea paste
Swell our palates full of taste
Boiled dragon livers
Stewed phoenix inners
Monkey brains bowls filled with dates
Dragon eyes on fancy plates
Life is sweet as heaven
In our waterlily pavilion
Love is all we are missing
In the house of Master Xi Men
Life is sweet as heaven
In our waterlily pavilion
Love is all we are missing
In the house of Master Xi Men
Our husband has a new concubine
He treats her as if she were divine
Everyday he wants her more
She's a greedy man sucking whore
One day we will pay her back
We'll tie her up in a rice sack
Throw her in a goldfish pond
Taking her to the world beyond
Life is sweet as heaven
In our waterlily pavilion
Love is all we are missing
In the house of Master Xi Men
Life is sweet as heaven
In our waterlily pavilion
Love is all we are missing
In the house of Master Xi Men
Hello there sister Golden Lotus
Come and join us for tea
Sit down and enjoy a sip
Of specially brewed horse pee
Life is sweet as heaven
In our waterlily pavilion
Love is all we're missing
In the house of Master Xi Men
Life is sweet as heaven
In our waterlily pavilion
Love is all we're missing
In the house of Master Xi Men
In the house of Master Xi Men
In the house of Master Xi Men
Tawny camel's chewy feet
Dragon-phoenix tea paste
Swell our palates full of taste
Boiled dragon livers
Stewed phoenix inners
Monkey brains bowls filled with dates
Dragon eyes on fancy plates
Life is sweet as heaven
In our waterlily pavilion
Love is all we are missing
In the house of Master Xi Men
Life is sweet as heaven
In our waterlily pavilion
Love is all we are missing
In the house of Master Xi Men
Our husband has a new concubine
He treats her as if she were divine
Everyday he wants her more
She's a greedy man sucking whore
One day we will pay her back
We'll tie her up in a rice sack
Throw her in a goldfish pond
Taking her to the world beyond
Life is sweet as heaven
In our waterlily pavilion
Love is all we are missing
In the house of Master Xi Men
Life is sweet as heaven
In our waterlily pavilion
Love is all we are missing
In the house of Master Xi Men
Hello there sister Golden Lotus
Come and join us for tea
Sit down and enjoy a sip
Of specially brewed horse pee
Life is sweet as heaven
In our waterlily pavilion
Love is all we're missing
In the house of Master Xi Men
Life is sweet as heaven
In our waterlily pavilion
Love is all we're missing
In the house of Master Xi Men
In the house of Master Xi Men
In the house of Master Xi Men
