All Aboard For Chinatown 1915

Early, early in the morning,
just as day begins a dawning,
and you're just as sleepy as can be,
Lazy, lazily you wander,
looking for some place to ponder,
with a squeeky, sneaky voice cries:
"Come along with me,"
Soon he takes you by the hand,
Off to Oriental land:

All aboard for Chinatown,
Deamy, dreamy Chinatown,
Come where the lanterns glow,
Follow the crowd and see,
Queer Oriental mysteries,
under the ground will go,
Don't tremble so
Funny, funny Chinaman,
playing, playing music grand,
Hear that familiar tune
It's "Chinatown my Chinatown"
So all aboard for fascinating
dreamy Chinatown.

All aboard for Chinatown,
Deamy, dreamy Chinatown,
Come where the lanterns glow,
Follow the crowd and see,
Queer Oriental mysteries,
under the ground will go,
Don't tremble so
Funny, funny Chinaman,
playing, playing music grand,
Hear that familiar tune
It's "Chinatown my Chinatown"
So all aboard for fascinating
dreamy Chinatown.

Great big men of high position,
Gambling men and politicians,
merrily they wile the hours away,
when the morning light is beaming,
and all Chinatown is dreaming,
hearts of sorrow on the morrow,
Soon will feel so gay,
see that fellow over there,
He thinks he's a millionaire:

All aboard for Chinatown,
Deamy, dreamy Chinatown,
Come where the lanterns glow,
Follow the crowd and see,
Queer Oriental mysteries,
under the ground will go,
Don't tremble so
Funny, funny Chinaman,
playing, playing music grand,
Hear that familiar tune
It's "Chinatown my Chinatown"
So all aboard for fascinating
dreamy Chinatown.

All aboard for Chinatown,
Deamy, dreamy Chinatown,
Come where the lanterns glow,
Follow the crowd and see,
Queer Oriental mysteries,
under the ground will go,
Don't tremble so
Funny, funny Chinaman,
playing, playing music grand,
Hear that familiar tune
It's "Chinatown my Chinatown"
So all aboard for fascinating
dreamy Chinatown.
