This is the version I remembered from the mid 60s. Chinaman had a wife, let her lead such a miserable life. Led her up to the top of a hill. Let her roll like a rolling mill. Chicka lie chee chi cho chicka lora Bunga lora piggy wiggy wack wack. Hoka poka hit him in the coca. Chatterby chatterby chee chi choka. Chinaman had a daughter, let her play on the teeter tauter. Led her up to the top of a hill, let her roll like a rolling mill. Repeat Chicka.... I am sure a lot of words are wrong, but this is how I remember it. Sang it while jumping rope.
