[Verse 1]
Somebody locked me in a room
Chinese messages comin’ through
I had to respond, but did not understand
So I just followed a list of commands

[Chorus]
I’m living in a Chinese room
I’m speaking Chinese to you
I’m living a Chinese room
(But) What it means, I GOT NO CLUE! (HEY!)

[Verse 2]
I’m following a set of rules
That tell me which Chinese symbols to use
They’re talking to me, they’re speaking Chinese
And they think I understand what it means!

[Chorus]
I’m living in a Chinese room
I’m speaking Chinese to you
I’m living a Chinese room
(But) What it means, I GOT NO CLUE! (HEY!)

[Verse 3]
And I think I fooled them all
That I’m a native Chinese speaker and all
Did my best, passed the Turing Test
Gave the proper response to every request
[Chorus]
I’m living in a Chinese room
I’m speaking Chinese to you
I’m living a Chinese room
(But) What it means, I GOT NO CLUE! (HEY!)
