Subject: RE: Song Req: 'There was China Man...'
my grandma taught me a version of this song, though it went a little different:

in all japan there lived a man:
his name was chika-racka-chi-chai-chang.
his legs were long, his feet were small,
the poor old man couldn't walk at all,
and they were singing;
chicka-racka-chi-chai-cho-chocalorum-winnopy-nag-catgo-toogo-ittycattykittyco-eyetipietichaitipieti-chaiingco.

the servants used to carry him out
on their backs and the folks did shout:
"here he comes! there he goes! the poor old chap with the funny funny nose!"
and they were singing:
chicka-racka-chi-chai-cho-chocalorum-winnopy-nag-catgo-toogo-ittycattykittyco-eyetipietichaitipieti-chaiingco.

lol epic
