RE: Lyr Req: Ching Chong Chinaman Song
My Grandmother was from England, and came over to Australia on a Ship that was later used in the Gallipoli Landings.
She was a Young Girl back then, and learned this song in the midst of
MANY Chinese Workers and Gold Diggers in the middle of NSW.
A Bush Girl NOW WORRIES.
Never Sung, Seen or Meant as Rasist by herself or her any of the People that worked or visited or lived around her Family Property.
An many of those people were of Chinese and Indian Cultures.
I ref to the recording of Dan W. Quinn "Chin Chin Chinaman", a song from the old play "The Geisha" of 1898 of "Berliner disc" records.
Comeon Folk, A KIDS RHYME from the Late 1800s to Early 1900s can only be seen as being Racist by people with an "Axe to Grind".
Lets be a bit more Adult about this type of thing Folks.
