Not the most PC version, but this is the one I learned in the mid sixties when we lived in Chicago, US. Not sure about somne of the words. Once in China there lived an old man Whose name was chikka-lakka-luka-kan His legs were long and his feet were short and he could neither walk nor talk, oh . . . Chikka Lakka Luka, Chikka Lakka Lorum Condum florum bulla bulla way Oka Oka itchy cry, itchy cry Diddy-by, diddy-by shingo . . . He had so many servants to carry him about That everywhere he went, the epople would shout Here he comes, and there he goes The Chinaman with the monkey's nose Chikka Lakka Luka, Chikka Lakka Lorum Condum florum bulla bulla way Oka Oka itchy cry, itchy cry Diddy-by, diddy-by shingo . . .
