I'm from Fargo, North Dakota. I used to love this song when I was a little girl. This is the version I know.



THERE WAS A MAN FROM CHINATOWN
HIS NAME WAS CHICKARACKA CHEE CHI CHO
HIS LEGS WERE LONG, HIS FEET WERE SHORT
THE CHINAMAN COULD WALK NOR TALK

CHICKARACKA CHEE CHI CHO CHICKALERO
BONGO LARO PIGGYWIGGY WAGO
HOKO POKO HIT EM ON THE KOKO
CHARAMI CHARAMI CHEE CHI CHO

THE CHINAMAN, HE HAD A WIFE
AND SO THEY LIVED A TERRIBLE LIFE
CUT OFF HIS PIGTAILS, WERE SO LONG
SOLD THEM FOR A CHINESE GONG

CHICKARACKA CHEE CHI CHO CHICKALARO
BONGO LARO PIGGYWIGGY WAGO
HOKO POKO HIT EM ON THE KOKO
CHARAMI CHARAMI CHEE CHI CHO

THE CHINAMAN GOT MAD ONE NIGHT
SO HE LIT SOME DYNAMITE
BLEW UP HIS HOUSE IT WENT SKYHIGH
NOW THE CHINAMAN CAN FLY!

(REPEAT CHORUS)
