My dad tought my sister and I this when we were much younger - I never found out where he learnt it!! It muct have travelled all around the world as we are in London!!


Once in china there lived a funny man
His name was chickeracka choo chi chan
His arms were long and his feet were short
The poor old china man could hardly walk

Chickeracka Chickeracka Choo chi norum
Punchy norum
Alla walla wax
Hokey Cokey Hit him on the Bokey
Itchy Cotchy Itchy Cotchy Winkle

Now this old China man went to sea
To see the sights of Kangaree
The ship got wrecked and so you see
The poor old China Man was drownded

Chickeracka Chickeracka Choo chi norum
Punchy norum
Alla walla wax
Hokey Cokey Hit him on the Bokey
Itchy Cotchy Itchy Cotchy Winkle
