Well, I heard a story you can judge it's worth 
About the sun and the moon 
This time they came down to earth 


They passed in the heavens each day up above 
Time after time and it soon became love 


They could not touch, they could not kiss 
They had no flesh, no earthly bliss 


So they made a scheme, they made a plan 
They would come down to earth as a woman and a man 


She rode a lunar wave, he flew a solar beam 
They took on human forms to live out a dream 


The most beautiful people that I've ever seen 
They were the Peking King and the New York Queen 
I said the Peking King and the New York Queen. 


As fate would have it in the toss of the dice 
They went to opposite ends of this world of our lives 
Opposite eyes, opposite minds 
Such things matter in these troubled times. 


Peking in the East and New York in the West 
Each place thought that it was the best 
But the sun and the moon on their earthly quest 
Knew without a doubt that it was all the best 


They said what does it matter how you read a book 
It's all the same no matter how it looks. 


Well the only thing important to the Peking King 
Was bein' in the arms of his New York Queen 


Thousand of miles, they were so far apart 
How to get together? Oh, where to start? 


On the California Zephyr and the Shanghai Express 
He headed to Hong Kong, she headed out west. 


No passports, no visas, no government quotas 
No secret missile sites in South Dakota 


No red tape, no red guard could stop the dream 
Of the Peking King and the New York Queen 
I said, the Peking King and the New York Queen 


Well they found a little island in the Phillipines 
It was a perfect little place to live out a dream 
They say East is East, West is West 
They say the twain won't meet, but don't you take that bet 


'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream 
Of the Peking King and the New York Queen 
The Peking King and the New York Queen.
