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. 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." Everyone (except Cody, Sierra, and Courtney): ''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 means "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..'' Wha-? Blaineley and Alejandro: ''(both gag and vomit) Sierra: ''Cody's in first class with me and my Love-me teaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Goofs

 * The chi is not pronounced chee, but in Chinese it is more of a cher, with a schwa.
 * Although Christian Potenza stated in several interviews that Chris doesn't get to sing, this is the second song Chris has sung in so far, the other being Blainerific.
 * In the second stanza, Duncan's mouth is not synced with the audio.
 * Heather says "It's still moving its feet!," 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 the remaining contestants (excluding Courtney) are shown, Cody, who is the shortest contestant, appears as tall as everyone else.
 * Also, Heather and Blaineley appear to be the shortest, but it might just look like this because both of them are back further than the rest.
