Chinatown - John Prine

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 thatd 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
