I remember a cleaner version of this song from an Alladin pantomime in the mid 1950's. It was sung by Wishee Washee the laundryman and went something like: Chinaman he make-ee money all-ee life-ee long He do wash-ee wash-ee, sometime he wash-ee wong. When he try to steal-ee collar, police-ee man-ee come, He get fine-ee five-ee dollar, plenty much sum! Chin chin chinaman, velly velly sad, High trade, low trade, velly velly bad. No-ee joke, broke-ee broke, had to shut-ee shop Chin chin chinaman, chop chop chop.
