GUEST,Adam McNaughtan Origins: Ching Chong Chinaman Song (75* d) RE: Lyr Req: Ching Chung Chinaman Song 25 Jul 04


The original song comes from Lionel Monckton's "The Geisha Girl". The chorus was:
    Chin Chin Chinaman, welly welly sad!
    Me aflaid allee trade welly welly bad;
    No-ee joke, blokee bloke, makee shutee shop;
    Chin Chin Chinaman, chop chop chop.

One Glasgow playground version went:
    Chin Chin Chinaman feeling very ill;
    Walkee walkee down the street, buy a Beecham's pill;
    Walkee walke home again, go to bed at night,
    Wake up in the morning with his shirt all shite.
