lyrics

The Ichiban
The Ichiban has gone away
The Ichiban
The Ichiban has gone away

I went down to the Ichiban one day
Only 8 dollars, for the lunch buffet
It became my favorite Chinese restaruant
What could ever go wrong?

But I came back
Winter break of last year
To hear the words
I didn't wanna hear

The Ichiban had closed down
Now there's no Chinese Buffet in this town

The Ichiban
The Ichiban has gone away
The Ichiban
The Ichiban has gone away

I drove down to China Pearl on North Dale Mabry
It was good and almost just as savory
It became my go-to Chinese restaurant
But I still miss the Ichiban

The price is more
Things will never be the same
But I still adore
Eating way too much chow mein

Broccoli and Beef
And General Tso's
So many things to eat
And in the end you know where it goes
