Then Came Lo Mein Lyrics

There were lean times, they were tough

There were mean times they were rough

And the good times didn't outweigh the bad

I was sad you were bitter

But you were no quitter

When nothin' was all that we had

We were drinkin' a lot

We were thinkin' of tyin' the know

Or maybe throw in the towel

Make up have a kid

Break up and we did

But only just for awhile

Then came lo mein and going insane

At the Chinese cafe way downtown

I was steamed I was fried but you stood by my life

When I had my nervous breakdown

There were noodles galore

All over the floor

And hot mustard sauce everywhere

But I held your hand til you calmed down again

And picked out the rice in your hair

After that we agreed

When in fact what we need

Is to pack up and take the first plane

Take a bus take a bike

Take care take a hike

Take out but leave the lo mein

I remember it now when we order kung pao

And bow our heads to say grace

The day we left town and that nervous breakdown

At the all-you-can-eat Chinese place

At the Chinese cafe way downtown
