There was a poor old China man, his name was Chinka-chaloo-chahan,
His teeth were short, his nose was long and this is the way he walked along.
Chinka-chaloo-chaloo-cha-pan, al-up-ee, al-up-ee, chinka-cha-lol-up-ee,
Chinka-chaloo-chaloo-cha-pan, al-up-ee, al-up-ee, Chinaman.

At last, this poor o;d man he died, and in his coffin he did lie,
They sent his coffin to Japan and this is the way his epitaph ran.
Chinka-chaloo-chaloo-cha-pan, al-up-ee, al-up-ee, chinka-cha-lol-up-ee,
Chinka-chaloo-chaloo-cha-pan, al-up-ee, al-up-ee, Chinaman.
