1
Well, I heard a story you can judge it's worth
2
About the sun and the moon
3
This time they came down to earth
4
They passed in the heavens each day up above
5
Time after time and it soon became love
6
They could not touch, they could not kiss
7
They had no flesh, no earthly bliss
8
So they made a scheme, they made a plan
9
They would come down to earth as a woman and a man
10
She rode a lunar wave, he flew a solar beam
11
They took on human forms to live out a dream
12
The most beautiful people that I've ever seen
13
They were the Peking King and the New York Queen
14
I said the Peking King and the New York Queen.
15
As fate would have it in the toss of the dice
16
They went to opposite ends of this world of our lives
17
Opposite eyes, opposite minds
18
Such things matter in these troubled times.
19
Peking in the East and New York in the West
20
Each place thought that it was the best
21
But the sun and the moon on their earthly quest
22
Knew without a doubt that it was all the best
23
They said what does it matter how you read a book
24
It's all the same no matter how it looks.
25
Well the only thing important to the Peking King
26
Was bein' in the arms of his New York Queen
27
Thousand of miles, they were so far apart
28
How to get together? Oh, where to start?
29
On the California Zephyr and the Shanghai Express
30
He headed to Hong Kong, she headed out west.
31
No passports, no visas, no government quotas
32
No secret missile sites in South Dakota
33
No red tape, no red guard could stop the dream
34
Of the Peking King and the New York Queen
35
I said, the Peking King and the New York Queen
36
Well they found a little island in the Phillipines
37
It was a perfect little place to live out a dream
38
They say East is East, West is West
39
They say the twain won't meet, but don't you take that bet
40
'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream
41
Of the Peking King and the New York Queen
42
The Peking King and the New York Queen.
43
'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream
44
'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream
45
Of the Peking King and the New York Queen
46
The Peking King and the New York Queen.
47
You're invited to the wedding of the sun and the moon
