Chinatown - John Prine
Well, the moon is yellow and the people are too They roll eggs on a bar-b-que I was feeling kinda cocky with a head full of sake Down in Chinatown There was dragons flyin' kites high above the stores Dead fish heads laying on the floor I got a sideways hickey from a slant-eyed chickie Down in Chinatown And it was suddenly, was suddenly, whoa whoa Yeah, suddenly Yeah, Suddenly whoa whoa They smelled fish We smelled like a meat Sucking on a soda pop oh so sweet Got a sugar rush that'd would make a nigger blush Down in Chinatown Won ton two ton three ton four Smoke a cigarette throw it on the floor I killed the pie-faced mothey with a shoeshine clothy Down in Chinatown It was suddenly, was suddenly, whoa whoa Yeah, suddenly, Yeah, suddenly whoa whoa The moonie is yellowie and the people are too They roll eggs on a bar-b-que I was feeling kinda cocky with head full of Saki Down in Chinatown I got a sideways hickey from a slant-eyed chickie Down in Chinatown Hey, down in Chinatown Hey, down in Chinatown
