Thread Name: Origins: In Chinaland there lived a great man
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: In Chinaland there lived a great man
Here us is my version of this song, which we sung as children, which was taught by our parents....this is what i remember

In China lived a very fat man, his name was Chikkarakka Chuki Can
His head was big, his feet were small, poor Chinee couldn't walk at all...

Chorus

Chikarakka chikarakka chukki can
Chub a lard Chub a lard was a very fat man
Uga Ooga isky misky Chinese too

He ordered his servants to carry him out
Through the backyard the people did shout
Here he comes, there he goes
Poor old man with a monkeys nose

Chorus

Who knows where it came from?
