Nonsensical but vaguely musical syllables
A male of Sino-Asian ancestry . . . a recent immigrant
Perched upon a wall
Pondering the capitalist system and how best to conform to and integrate himself into that system
Ching Chong Chinaman sitting on a fence
Trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents
