My Dad used to sing a song to my brother in about 1938, which had the opening lyric "There was a china man with pig tail spic and span ha ha ha ha he he..."
Unfortunately that's all I know of the song and would really like to find out the name of it. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

My Drandad (Clifford Owen) sang me this version:

There was a man from Chinatown his name was Licka Lacka Lee Law Chan
His head was tall and his feet were small and this little man had no nose at all
Licka Lacka Lee Law Hey Indora Icky Picky Pikey OK

They rolled him in the park one day and frightened all the kids away
They rolled him here, they rolled him there, they rolled him in a bamboo chair.
Licka Lacka Lee Law Hey Indora, In-Di-Ora, Icky Picky Pikey OK

Crappy lyrics but great memories :)

I think I asked about this song a while ago. All I know is:

There was a Chinaman
With pigtails spick and span
Ah hah ha ha ha ha
Who never would go out
When there was rain about
Ah hah ha ha ha ha
For rain, he used to say,
Washed pigtails all away
Ah hah ha ha ha ha ha ha
So indoors he would stay
On every rainy day
Ah hah ha ha ha ha

....
Just walk along the street
And him you're sure to meet
Ah hah ha ha ha ha
You're sure to find him there,
He walks without an air
Ah hah ha ha ha ha

The tune is George Formby-ish.

My Great Grandma used to sing this song to me and I would dearly love to find the lyrics. She sang it something like this:

In China there lived a China man, his name was Ching-a-rie-Ching-a-rie Chan,
His legs were long and his feet were small, this ChinaMan couldn't walk at all...singing,
Ching-a-rie, ching-a-rie Chan, riddle me this and (?)...

Chick a chaloo chaloo chapan wallapa wallapa China Man...
There once there was a China man, his name was Chicka chaloo chapan
His head was big and his feet were small, so the poor China man couldn't walk.
Alas the China man to die and in his coffin he did lie
They sent the coffin to Japan and that was the end of the China man.

This is one of the first songs I learned from my mother around 1940:

In China lived a little man
His name was Chingalanga Chingalanga Chang
His legs were short and his feet were small
And this little man couldn't walk at all

Cho:
Chingalanga Chingalanga Chingalanga Chang
Raygo Daygo Happy man
Cudo Disco Codeo
Gallopy a Wallopy a Chiney go

Miss Skyhigh was short and fat
She had money and he had none
Under her window he would sat
Playing a tune on his little tum tum

Miss Skyhigh heard his notes of love
She held the washbowl up above
She let it fall on Chingalanga Chang
And that was the end of the happy man.

my grandma taught me a version of this song, though it went a little different:

in all japan there lived a man:
his name was chika-racka-chi-chai-chang.
his legs were long, his feet were small,
the poor old man couldn't walk at all,
and they were singing;
chicka-racka-chi-chai-cho-chocalorum-winnopy-nag-catgo-toogo-ittycattykittyco-eyetipietichaitipieti-chaiingco.

the servants used to carry him out
on their backs and the folks did shout:
"here he comes! there he goes! the poor old chap with the funny funny nose!"
and they were singing:

My Mother's version :

In China was a happy man,
His name was Chingaling, Chingaling Chan,
His head was big and his body was small,
The poor little man couldn't walk at all.

Miss Kyo was a Chinese maid,
Of Chingaling Chan she was much afraid,
Under her window he would go,
To play a tune on his little banjo.

Miss Kyo heard his notes of love,
She raised her little shoe from above,
She let it fall on the happy man,
And that was the end of Chingaling Chan.

Lots of different versions of this song! My mother would sing a version of this when my brothers and I were children - 1950's. She also loved to sing Johnny Rebeck to us. These are the words she taught us:

There once was a Chinaman, who lived in old Japan,
His name was Chick-a-rie, Chick-a-rie Chan.
His feet were long, his toes were short
And this is the way the Chinaman talked,

(refrain)
"Chick a churie, che-li-che-lo, chick-a-rie romeo in a banana go
Wallago, wallago, chan-a-sea, in a banana go, wallago chow"

This Chinaman he had great wealth
He lived in a mansion all by himself
His neighbors built for him a boat
And in it they put the Chinaman afloat

(refrain)

The Chinaman he did die and in his coffin he did lie.
They sent him back to old Japan
And this is the way his epitaph ran

(refrain)

Once in China, there lived a great man
His name was Chickeri-Chee-Chi-Chan
His legs were long and his feet were short,
The poor old man couldn't walk or snort!

Oh, Chickeri-Chee-Chi-Chan, mungo-loro

Hi, Stephen-
Well, the song is certainly racist. Whether the thread is racist or not, is another matter. Whatever the case, racist or not, the song in question is certainly a real folk song and a very good example of the folk process, how a song may take many different paths and develop many different versions.
But you're right...I cringe every time this thread comes up on the Forum Menu.

Thanks for your constructive answer. I agree that Mudcat is not racist and sometimes very progressive. However a lot of people happen upon this site and a thread like this doesnt give a good first impression when they look at Mudcat.
