Wow! How cool that there is a website on this! My mom was a kindergarden teacher and taught me this song back in the early 70s. I loved it and made her sing it to me over and over and now I sing it to my son...he's only 5 months...unfortunately I won't be able to sing it once he understand and can repeat the words because it has now been deemed politically incorrect, but anyway...here is the version I know: Once there was a China man His name was Chicka chalu Chapan His hair was short, his teeth were long And this is the way he walked along, Chicka chalu chalu Chapan Challapy Allapy, Chicka Challapy Chicka Chalu, Chalu Chapan Challapy Allapy China Man Alas this poor old man he died And in his coffin did reside They shipped him back to old Japan And that was the end of the China Man Chicka chalu chalu Chapan Challapy Allapy, Chicka Challapy Chicka Chalu, Chalu Chapan Challapy Allapy China Man
