Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Once in China there lived a great man...
My dad learnt this from his mother - My Dad died 10 years ago.

Once in China there lived a funny man
And his name was Ikeraka Ching Chong Chan
His feet were long and his legs were short
And the Chinese man couldn't walk nor talk.

Chorus

Ikeraka ching chong chow chaka lorum
Condo lorum itty pitty wicka
Itty my itty my itty itty otiko
Itty my itty my chikerang coo

The chinese man he grew so stout
His servants could not carry him about
They took him up to the top of a hill
And Rolled him down like a Beecham's pill

Chorus
