Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Once in China there lived a great man...
My Grandad Dave has taught my entire family this version of the song and we all embarrass ourselves infront of our partners at family get togethers by singing it!

Vs 1
In china town there lived a man his name was chicaraca chee chi chan
his legs were long and his feet were small
china man couldnt walk at all

Chorus
Chicaraker chee chi cho chicanorah condy nora iddy widy win
otoe otoe hit him on the boto iddy pie iddy pie imm pimm pimm

Vs 2
The cause of his infirmity was very simple you can see
he waked to France on a railway track and wore his feet out coming back

Chorus
Chicaraker chee chi cho chicanorah condy nora iddy widy win
otoe otoe hit him on the boto iddy pie iddy pie imm pimm pimm

Now China man got married they say to his wife on his wedding day
although he was born on the day of his birth
he died on his very last day on earth!

Chorus
Chicaraker chee chi cho chicanorah condy nora iddy widy win
otoe otoe hit him on the boto iddy pie iddy pie imm pimm pimm

We plan on passing down!! i noticed no one had posted this version yet!
