One of my all-time favourite songs is that sixties' classic Kites by Simon Dupree and the Big Sound. In the middle of it, actress Jackie Chan recites some Asian sounding poetry. It's not mandarin, and I can't find anywhere on the web what it is (let alone the text itself). Anybody know? Japanese? Cantonese?

From homepages.ihug.co.nz/~peterkin/Discography.htm :

"The actress Jacqui Chan, (not Jackie Chan) does the erotic spoken words on 'Kites'.
She had bit of a problem with this as she didn't speak Chinese.
Jacqui took the words to her Grandmother who taught her the correct pronunciation.
Several Chinese people I know, who speak a variety of Chinese dialects, are unable to understand
any of these words. All is forgiven because she's a lovely person."
