This riff(alternate the notes here n there) is played during most of the song and during
is sung these lyrics:
Look for a while at the China Cat Sunflower
proud—walking jingle in the midnight sun
Copper—dome Bodhi drip a silver kimono
like a crazy—quilt stargown
through a dream night wind
Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandana
like a one—eyed Cheshire
like a diamond—eye Jack
A leaf of all colors plays
a golden string fiddle
to a double—e waterfall over my back
Comic book colors on a violin river
crying Leonardo words
from out a silk trombone
I rang a silent bell
beneath a shower of pearls
in the eagle wing palace
of the Queen Chinee
