Subject: In Chinaland there lived a great man
Does anyone recognise these fragments of an old song? "In Chinaland there lived a great man.
His name was Chicker Acker Choo Chay Chan
Chicker Acker Choo Chay Chan Chickerlorum
On my pourum..............................
..............diddy pie diddy pie Chee Anko".
(Please accept my apologies if you find this song offensive. I'm interested in the development and persistence of xenophobic/racist "humour").
