GUEST,Stacey Charlesworth Origins: 'Once in China there lived a great man... (269* d) RE: Lyr Req: 'Once in China there lived a great man... 31 May 08


Anyone know this version?

Can't quite get my head around all this!!! Was Googling the lyrics, attempting to impress my mother with the wonders of the internet - it worked big time...thoght I think she thinks there is still a correct version, hers!

She's 82,from Cheshire, England and was taught it by her mother, passed it on to me, and my sister, who has taught it to her granddaughter, 2 and a half.


Once there was a great big man
His name was Chickaracca Chee Chi Chum
His legs were long and his feet were small
This Chinaman couldn't walk at all

Chicka Racka Chee Chi I Conka Lorum
Conka Lorum Packa Wacka Whack
His servants used to carry him about
Upon their backs
The men did shout
Chicka Racka Chee Chi I Conka Lorum
Conka Lorum Packa Wacka Whack

They took him to the top of a hill
And rolled him down like a rolling pin

Chicka Racka Chee Chi I Conka Lorum
Conka Lorum Packa Wacka Whack


Oko Poko Itty Pitty Cotty Pie
Itty Pie Cotty Pie Co in Choo
