Subject: RE: Song Req: 'There was China Man...'
This is one of the first songs I learned from my mother around 1940:
In China lived a little man His name was Chingalanga Chingalanga Chang His legs were short and his feet were small And this little man couldn't walk at all
Cho: Chingalanga Chingalanga Chingalanga Chang Raygo Daygo Happy man Cudo Disco Codeo Gallopy a Wallopy a Chiney go
Miss Skyhigh was short and fat She had money and he had none Under her window he would sat Playing a tune on his little tum tum
Miss Skyhigh heard his notes of love She held the washbowl up above She let it fall on Chingalanga Chang And that was the end of the happy man.
