She wears old clothes she holds a borrowed handker-
chief and her sorrow show us the papers have bad
news again today Lee Ying only 19 has to return to
China
Days on foot with little or no food the last six days
on water alone now she must turn back
Three hundred thousand like her must turn back to
China there is no room say the officials in Hong
Kong you must go back where you came from
Point of no return is the caption but this is meaning-
less she must return that is the story
She would not weep if she had reached a point of no
return what she wants is not to return
There is no place for her and no point for thousands
like her there is no point
Their flight from had news to worse news has caused
alarm
Refugees suffer and authorities feel alarm the press
does not take sides
We know all about the sorrow of Lee Ying one glance
is enough we look at something else
She must go back where she came from no more need
be said
Whenever the authorities are alarmed everyone must
return to China
We too know all about sorrow we have seen it in the
movies
You have our sympathy Miss Lee Ying you must go
where we are sorry for your future
Too had some people get all the rough breaks the au-
thorities regret
Refugees from China have caused alarm
When the authorities are alarmed what can you do
You can return to China
Their alarm is worse than your sorrow
Please do not look only at the dark side in private
life these are kind men
They are only obeying orders
Over there is Red China where you will remain in
future
There also the authorities are alarmed and they too
obey orders
Please do not look only at the dark side
All the newspapers in the free world explain why
you return their readers understand how you feel
You have the sympathy of millions
As a tribute to your sorrow we resolve to spend more
money on nuclear weapons there is always a bright
side
If this were only a movie a boat would be available
have you ever seen our movies they end happily
You would lean at the rail with "him" the sun would
set on China kiss and fade
You would marry one of the kind authorities
In our movies there is no law higher than love in real
life duty is higher
You would not want the authorities to neglect duty
How do you life the image of the fee world sorry
you cannot stay
This is the first and last time we will see you in our
papers
When you are back home remember us we will be
having a good time
