Subject: RE: Song Req: 'There was China Man...'
My grandad taught me this song, I am reading it at his funeral next week. I remember telling this poem to a pair of chinese exchange students asking them to translate it as I really thought it was in the chinese language! (well i was only 11) :0)

There once was a China Man, His Name was Chicka Lacka Lee Chaw Chan, his head was big and his feet were small and this little china man, he couldnt walk at all....

ohhhhhhhh.....Chicka Lacka Lee Chaw,
Chaw Chicka-lorum,
Ind-eye oram,
Parra parra why
oko poko
parra parra why-ki
Armoo!
