Chinatown My Chinatown 1910

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 10 Oct 2004

When the town is fast asleep,
and it's midnight in the sky,
that's the time the festive Chink
starts to wink his other eye,
starts to wink his dreamy eye,
lazily you'll hear him sigh.

Chinatown, my Chinatown,
where the lights are low,
hearts that know no other land,
drifting to and fro,
dreamy, dreamy Chinatown,
almond eyes of brown,
hearts seem light and life seems bright
in dreamy Chinatown.

Chinatown, my Chinatown,
where the lights are low,
hearts that know no other land,
drifting to and fro,
dreamy, dreamy Chinatown,
almond eyes of brown,
hearts seem light and life seems bright
in dreamy Chinatown.

Strangers taking in the sights,
Pigtails flying here and there;
see that broken Wall Street sport,
still think he's a millionaire.
still thinks he's a millionaire,
pipe dreams banish every care.

Chinatown, my Chinatown,
where the lights are low,
hearts that know no other land,
drifting to and fro,
dreamy, dreamy Chinatown,
almond eyes of brown,
hearts seem light and life seems bright
in dreamy Chinatown.

Chinatown, my Chinatown,
where the lights are low,
hearts that know no other land,
drifting to and fro,
dreamy, dreamy Chinatown,
almond eyes of brown,
hearts seem light and life seems bright
in dreamy Chinatown.
