Chinatown Lyrics by John Prine

Chinatown Lyrics

    Well, the moon is yellow and the people are too
    They roll eggs on a bar-b-que
    I was feeling kinda cocky with a head full of sake
    Down in chinatown

    There was dragons flyin' kites high above the stores
    Dead fish heads laying on the floor
    I got a sideways hickey from a slant-eyed chickie
    Down in chinatown

    And it was suddenly, was suddenly, whoa whoa
    Yeah, suddenly yeah, suddenly whoa whoa

    They smelled fish
    We smelled like a meat
    Sucking on a soda pop oh so sweet
    Got a sugar rush that'd would make 'em blush
    Down in chinatown

    Won ton two ton three ton four
    Smoke a cigarette throw it on the floor
    I killed the pie-faced mothey with a shoeshine clothy
    Down in chinatown

    It was suddenly, was suddenly, whoa whoa
    Yeah, suddenly, yeah, suddenly whoa whoa

    The moonie is yellowie and the people are too
    They roll eggs on a bar-b-que
    I was feeling kinda cocky with head full of saki
    Down in chinatown

    I got a sideways hickey from a slant-eyed chickie
    Down in chinatown
    Hey, down in chinatown
    Hey, down in chinatown
