Te ve Orez

[Steve Weintraub <dancinsteve...>]

I recall once hearing that the title of the children's dance song Te ve'Orez 
was a sort of Israeli chalutzim joke, to the effect that there were as many 
mosquitos in (then) Palestine as there was tea and rice in China.  Can anyone 
verify this? And, are there any lyrics to the song?

Thanks,

Steve
