GUEST,Dave F Origins: Ching Chong Chinaman Song (75* d) RE: Lyr Req: Ching Chong Chinaman Song 20 Jan 09


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.
