Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Once in China there lived a great man...
My mom taught me this one:

In chinatown there lived a man his name was chick-a-la chick-a-la chan,

His toes were short and his feet were long,

And this is the way his epitaph ran:

"Oh, Chick-a-lee Cha-lie Cha-lo, Chick-a-la Romeo in a Banana-go

Wallago wallago can't cha see?

In a banana-go out, chow!"

I hope you like the version...
