Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Once in China there was a funny man
My Mother taught this version to me when I was about 3 years old in 1966, passed down to her from her father.
Once in China there was a funny man
His name was Chickeraka Chin Chai Chan
His arms were long and his legs were short
The poor old man couldn't walk or talk
Chickaraka chin chai chan chickorlora
