GUEST,L.Vana Song Req: 'There was China Man...' (113* d) RE: Song Req: 'There was China Man...' 20 Dec 18


My mom was born in Philadelphia in 1923. This is the song as she sang it to us:

Once there was a Chinaman his name was Chickita Loo Chapan .His hair was long his feet were short and this is the way he walked along
Chickita Lucha Lucha chapan. Twal de
walla chicken diabla.
Chickita Loo cha loo chapan Twal la walla chinaman.
Now this poor old man he died but in his coffin he was alive. They shipped his coffin into Japan and that was the end of the Chinaman.
Chickita Lucha Lucha chapan. Twal de
walla chicken diabla.
Chickita Loo cha loo chapan Twal la walla chinaman..
