| Facts: |
| Wuhan, the city where COVID-19 originated, is mentioned in this song decades before the place became infamous for something. It's just a coincidence...we hope. (Stavro Arrgolus) |
| Unlike America, where sports are 'serious business', the British (well, some of them, anyway) recognize the ridiculousness of being overpaid for kicking a stupid looking ball up and down a field for an hour and a half and will write silly songs about it if given the opportunity. In this one, they must have thought, "Soccer is so boring, it's not worth singing about, so instead of supporting a team, let's sing about supporting...a Chinese river!" Wait, what? (Stavro Arrgolus) |
| This song appears on the "Monty Python's Previous Record" album, but it first appeared on the Python series as an instrumental piece in one of Terry Gilliam's cartoons (Stavro Arrgolus) |

| Song Lyrics: |
We love the Yangtse
Yangtse Kiang
Flowing from Yushu
Down to Ching Kiang
Passing though Chung King
Wuhan and Hoo Kow
3000 miles,
but it gets there somehow
Oh! Szechuan's the province
and Shanghai is the port
And Yangtse is the river
that we all support
We love the Yangtse
Yangtse Kiang
Flowing from Yushu
Down to Ching Kiang
Passing though Chung King
Wuhan and Hoo Kow
3000 miles,
but it gets there somehow
Oh! Szechuan's the province
and Shanghai is the port
And Yangtse is the river
that we all support
