Our cover of "Mahjong Classic: A Tale of the Man Jong Game"-- A duet by Zhou Xuan and Han Langen, released in 1940, with lyrics and music by Yan Hua. It was published by Shanghai EMI Records in October 1940, record number 35490A, template number B556. The lyrics are as follows:

1. (Female) When I'm bored, I'm really annoyed, (Male) Playing mahjong relieves my anxiety! (Female) Before playing mahjong, let's agree on the rules, (Male) A peaceful hand with a high score!

2. (Female) Three dragons, four auspicious tiles, thirteen old tiles, (Male) A plum blossom on the kong, a bottom tile! The girl next door, Zhou, is beautiful. (Female) Brother Han, your mind is in turmoil. You're playing the seven of bamboo, and the two of coppers; you're taking all the dealer's suit.

3. (Male) Miss Zhou, you're busy pushing your tiles and speaking up. (Female) Monkey, why aren't you playing the seven of bamboo? You should play the four and seven of bamboo peacefully. (Male) Miss Zhou, you keep cursing!
