Subject: RE: Song Req: 'There was China Man...'
The version I was taught in 1960 went like this.
Once there was a Chinaman His name was Chickie Chaloo Japan His teeth were short, his hair was long And this is the way he marched along.
Chorus
Chickie Chaloo Chaloo Japan Cholopy. Olopy, Chickie Chalopy Chickie Chaloo Chaloo Japan Cholopy Olopy Chinaman
At last the poor old man did die And in his coffin he did lie. They took him back to old Japan And that was the end of the Chinaman.
