VERSE 01: Early, early in the morning,/Just as day begins a dawning,/And you’re just as sleepy as can be,/Lazy, lazily you wander,/Looking for some place to ponder,/When a squeeky, sneaky voice cries: “Come along with me,”/Soon he takes you by the hand,/Off to Oriental land: CHORUS: All aboard for Chinatown,/Dreamy, dreamy Chinatown,/Come where the lanterns glow,/Follow the crowd and see/Queer Oriental mysteries,/Under the ground we’ll go,/(Don’t tremble so,)/Funny, funny Chinaman,/Playing, playing music grand,/Hear that familiar tune,/It’s “Chinatown, my chinatown,”/So all aboard for fascinating, dreamy Chinatown. VERSE 02: Great big men of high positions,/Gambling men and politicians,/Merrily they wile the hours away,/When the morning light is beaming,/And all Chinatown is dreaming,/Hearts of sorrow on the morrow/Soon will feel so gay,/See that fellow over there,/He thinks he’s a millionaire: | |
