"Somewhere in the South China Sea does lay, A Chinese fighter pilot by the name of Wang-wei. How is it he has chosen in that place to stay? Did he take a wrong turn and go the wrong way? "For, you see, Wang-wei, he so loved to play, With recon planes who came out to survey, What China was planning, to see what may, Occur in the future with Taiwan in the way. "So, he thought to himself, 'These American spies, how dare they, Intrude into our waters – now they must pay! I will show them, surely, the Chinese way, They will remember me on this momentus [sic] day.' "He was filled with bravado, as he buzzed around the plane, The American crew, they just thought him insane, 'What is it with this guy, has he no brain? He has everything to lose and nothing to gain.' "But Wang-wei was determined to be remembered that day, For his bravado, his flashy and flamboyant way, He soared 'neath the plane, then in front with his spray, Spewing fumes in their faces as if to say, To every American who dares to spy China's way, 'I'm here, I'm there, I'm always in your way, I'm the Tom Cruise of China, I'm the great Wang-wei!' "Yeah, Wang-wei, he went down on that very day, In the daredevil game that he so loved to play, He went down for his country, or so they say, To remind to all recons who again spy China's way, 'My life's in the balance, it is that you now weigh, Do not spy on dear China or else you must pay, For that I went down to the place I now lay, The occasion [sic] by which you will mark this day!'"
