I can't believe I found this. My grandmother used to sing it to me and I have never met anyone who knows what I'm talking about. Her version went: In China once there was a great man, His name was Chickery Choo Chai Chan, His legs were fat and his feet were small, That China man couldn't walk at all. Chickery Choo Chai Chan-galora, Bang-alora, Men-a-Kin-Men. Lang-con-do-dee Idi-kiddi-pi! Idi-kiddi-pi! China Coo! My god, it is quite insane when you write it down. The Idi-kiddi bits were inevitably accompanied by a burst of tickling.
