Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Once in China there lived a great man...
Hiliarious...My family might have changed it from Chingery to Chinglaling, but this is how i learned it.......

In Chinatown there lived a little man,
his name was Chingaling...Chingaling Chan
His legs were short and his feet were small,
this little man couldn't walk at all.

CHORUS
Chingaling Chan chingaling chan
Hi-Oh-Di-Oh Raggedy Man
Cordy Disco Cordy Oh
Gallopin' Wallopin' China Oh

Mrs. Way High up Above
She had money he had love
To her window he would go
to play her a song on his little banjo

CHORUS

Mrs. Way High up Above
Held her wash board high above,
Let it drop on Chingaling Chan
That was the end of the Chinaman.

CHORUS
