A Chinese Lesson

A Chinese Lesson is the twenty-third song in Total Drama World Tour. It is sung in Chinese Fake-Out by Chris and the remaining competitors, excluding Courtney, during the eating challenge. This song is broken up by long patches of dialogue to allow time for the consumption of the disgusting meals and elimination of contestants from the challenge. The gaps between the stanzas are where the dialogue begins.

Lyrics
Chris: ''A little Chinese lesson, for you. Manman chi means "enjoy your meal."'' Everyone (except Sierra and Courtney): ''Manman chi. It's no raw deal''. Cody: Is it roasted eel?

Chris: Manman chi means "bon appetite." Blaineley, Alejandro, Heather, and Duncan: ''Manman chi. What do we have to eat?'' Heather: It's still moving its feet!

Chris: ''Manman chi. It's dinner for four.'' Blaineley, Alejandro, and Duncan: ''Manman chi. We've got room for more.'' Duncan: I think I'm nearly done for.

Chris: ''Manman chi. Don't get the squirts. Blaineley and Alejandro: ''Manman chi. We'd rather eat our shirts! Heather: Wait, stop!

Blaineley and Alejandro: ''Manman chi. (off-key) Manman chi-i-i''. Chris: ''They love to eat on The Yangtze. Manman chi. Manman...'' Huh? Blaineley and Alejandro: ''(both gag and vomit) Sierra: ''Cody's in first class with me and my Love-me teaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Trivia

 * This is the only song to be started by Chris.
 * This is the second and last song Blaineley and Chris sang in, the first being Blainerific.
 * This is the second and last song to be interrupted by someone else. The first was Lovin' Time.
 * However, the song resumed after the interruption anyway, and was not reprised like Lovin' Time was.
 * Courtney was the only remaining contestant that didn't sing in this song. Thus, this is the fifth song that Courtney does not sing in (excluding Aftermath songs). The others were Gypsy Rap, Paris in the Springtime, Oh My Izzy, and Greek Mix.
 * This is the only song that is sung in parts, as it is interrupted in between verses by dialogue.
 * This also technically makes it the longest song, if one includes the dialogue.
 * Each contestant that sings or says the last line of a stanza is eliminated in that round.
 * In the song, Chris wears a traditional Chinese opera costume with makeup.
 * Sierra sings her final line in Chinese opera style.
 * The Yangtze River is referred to in the song, which is the longest river in China.
 * This is the first song since Sea Shanty Mix where Cody has sung in.
 * Interestingly, the final three contestants of the challenge, Alejandro, Sierra, and Blaineley, are the three new competitors introduced in Total Drama World Tour.

Goofs

 * The chi is not pronounced chee, but in Chinese it is more of a cher, with a schwa.
 * In the second stanza, Duncan's mouth is not synced with the audio.
 * Heather disgustedly says that the worm is still moving its feet during the song, despite the fact that worms don't have feet.
 * In the first stanza, Heather's eyes are black instead of their normal gray color.
 * The Cartoon Network downloadable version of the song omits the first stanza.
 * When all of the remaining contestants (excluding Courtney) are shown, Cody, who is the shortest contestant there, appears to be as tall as everybody else.
 * Manman chi can mean either "eat slowly" or "indulge yourself in food" in Chinese, which contradicts what Chris translated it to.
