Hey hey, restaurant proprietor, give me pickled vegetables!
(Hey hey, lao ban, lai pan paocai!)

(chorus)
Hey hey, restaurant proprietor, give me paocai!
Hey hey, restaurant proprietor, give me paocai!
Paocai paocai Wooo! paocai paocai

(2nd verse)
Everyone loves it, yeah,
Don’t you reckon it’s funny?
Just put a plate of paocai on the table,
Wooo! My intention is to
Whet the diners’ appetite…
