My version from Australia from 40 years ago! My sister and i still sing it and are the only ones i know who knew it. Obviously no offence for the spelling or the content, it was just a childhood song for us. There lived in China, a very old man, his name was Chickaraka Ching Chong Chan, his legs were long and his feet were small, this little man couldn't walk at all. Chickaraka Ching Chong, Char Chickaronee, alabala fat man, okoe koney. Itchy bitchy caterpillar, ickapie ickapie okoko. His servants carried him in an arm chair, funny little fella with a squashed in nose. Here he comes and there he goes, funny little fella with a squashed in nose. Chickara Ching Chong, Char Chickaronee, alabala fat man, okoe koney. Itchy bitchy caterpillar, ickapie ickapie okoko. I can't believe this song exists in so many forms, i'm actually just glad to know i didn't make it up or that i was going mad!
