Hi Everyone, My grandmother who was born in 1909 sang this to me when I was little... She grew up in Arkansas. I always enjoyed singing it with her, even though some of it doesn't make much sense, it's so cute and fun to sing! I will pass it down to my children one day as well! =) This is the version she sang to me: "In China, there was a little man His name was Shing-a-ling, Shing-a-ling Shan. His legs were short and his feet were small And this little man couldn't walk at all. Shing-a-ling, Shing-a-ling, Shing-a-ling Shan Rycko Decko Happy Man Alico Disco Corneo Gallopin and a wallopin in the county-o This little man went to the window to play his little banjo He let it fall on Shing-a-ling Shan And that was the end of the China Man...." =)
