Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Once in China there lived a great man...
And I thought the only version was:-

In China once there lived an old man,
His name was Chikka-Rakka-Ching-Chang-Chang,
His legs were long,his feet were small,
This Chinaman,he couldn't walk at all.

So-o-o-o:- (Big Breath)
Chikka-Rakka-Ching-Chang,Kongalore,Kokalore,Ekki-Pekki-Mo,
Okka-Okka,stick him on a poker,
Ate a cow,ate a cow,ee en chew,
Ra-ra chikkara,chikkara rooney,
Rooney-pooney,ping-pang-piney,
Kar-rah-raxi,Chinese ching!
