In Chinatown there lived a man
and his name was Ching Ling Chan
His legs were short and his feet were small
It's a wonder that he could walk at all

Ching Ling Ching Ling Ching Ling Chan
rango tango happy man
Do a little disco, rodeo
gallopy wallopy chiney-oh

Now Ching Ling's heart was filled with love
for Miss Sky High who lived above
Under her window he would go
and sing her a song on his little banjo

Ching Ling Ching Ling Ching Ling Chan
rango tango happy man
Do a little disco, rodeo
gallopy wallopy chiney-oh

Miss Sky high who lived above
held her washboard high above
let it fall on Ching Ling Chan
and that was the end of the China Man.
