GUEST,John Archer Song Req: 'There was China Man...' (113* d) RE: Song Req: 'There was China Man...' 26 Mar 21


I'm researching "Jingo!" an Indian British Raj skipping song, lernt in Dunedin New Zealand in about 1905, and I am told it has a similar tune to The Chinaman one. Could someone point me to a recording of the Chinaman song being sung please?

The is Jingo! song

Hairo chairo, chukka pukka pan
Ocki ocki pino, chika chika man
Holaby impy, impy chi
Tara warka chara baka, jingo!
