Subject: RE: Song Req: 'There was China Man...'
My father (born 1918) would sing:
"Once there was a Chinaman His name was Alygaloot Chapan. His hair was long his feet were short, and this is the way he used to talk:
'Loocha loocha loocha chapan Ali gawally ga chicka dee ali Galoocha loocha looch chapan,' and that was the end of the chinaman.
When the chinaman shall die In his coffin he will lie. If his coffin is too small, He will go to China Hall.
'Loocha loocha loocha chapan Ali gawally go chicka dee ali Galoocha loocha looch chapan,' and that was the end of the chinaman.
