A Chinese Lesson

A Chinese Lesson is the twenty-third song featured 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 tea!
