Ching-a-Ling's Chinese Bazaar 1920

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 09 Apr 2004

Ching Ling far owns a Bazaar
way down in Chinatown,
Ev'ry night, he dims his light,
and pulls the curtains down.
Soon you'll hear a Chinese drum,
soon you'll see the neighbors come:

Down to ChingaLingaLingLing's
China Jazz Bazaar.
You're bound to hear a China tune
played on a jazz guitar,
You'll see each China John,
with swell kimonas on,
and Sing Song girlies,
Oh boy! Hop Toy!
Chunga Lunga Fungoy!
Hear the pitterpatter of the sandal'd feet,
and ev'ry jazzy little dance
they do is handl'd neat, sweet,
and when they roll their almond eyes
it's pigtail paradise,
at ChingaLingaLingLing's
Jazz Bazaar.

Down to ChingaLingaLingLing's
China Jazz Bazaar.
You're bound to hear a China tune
played on a jazz guitar,
You'll see each China John,
with swell kimonas on,
and Sing Song girlies,
Oh boy! Hop Toy!
Chunga Lunga Fungoy!
Hear the pitterpatter of the sandal'd feet,
and ev'ry jazzy little dance they do
is handl'd neat, sweet,
and each idol upon the shelf
starts in to shake himself,
at ChingaLingaLingLing's
Jazz Bazaar.

Ev'ry chink feels in the pink,
and shuts his laundry down,
Then he'll run at setting sun,
right down to China Town.
Shimmie he no wash no more,
but he shimmie on the floor.

Down to ChingaLingaLingLing's
China Jazz Bazaar.
You're bound to hear a China tune
played on a jazz guitar,
You'll see each China John,
with swell kimonas on,
and Sing Song girlies,
Oh boy! Hop Toy!
Chunga Lunga Fungoy!
Hear the pitterpatter of the sandal'd feet,
and ev'ry jazzy little dance
they do is handl'd neat, sweet,
and when they roll their almond eyes
it's pigtail paradise,
at ChingaLingaLingLing's
