GUEST,melanie Origins: 'Once in China there lived a great man... (269* d) RE: Lyr Req: 'Once in China there lived a great man... 28 Dec 08


my grandad's version went like this (not sure about spelling):

Once in china there lived a funny man,
his name was chickeraka hoo wang wang,
his legs were short & his feet were small,
and this funny man couldn't read or walk

CHORUS:
Chickeraka chickeraka hi cokalorum
mo tiddyorum tiddy widdy wack
hoko boko hit im on the coco
chickeraka chickeraka chinese chap

When the chinese took him up a hill,
they rolled him down like a Beecham's pill

CHORUS

When the chinese went to sea,
the ship got sunk & so did he

Chorus
