Way out in old San Fran
there is a Chinaman
Who's known for miles around,
Wonderful place he keeps
down where he eats and sleeps
was underneath the ground;
Each night the festive chinks
come there to wink and blink
and dream away the hours,
They sing this funny song
while they are born along
on beds of poppy flow'rs.

Ching Chong
Oh Mister Ching Chong
You're the King of Chinatown,
Ching Chong,
I love your sing song
when you have turned the lights all down.
Ching Chong
just let me swing 'long
thru the realms of drowsy land,
Dreaming while stars are beaming
Oh Mister Ching Chong
sing song man.

Ching Chong
Oh Mister Ching Chong
You're the King of Chinatown,
Ching Chong,
I love your sing song
when you have turned the lights all down.
Ching Chong
just let me swing 'long
thru the realms of drowsy land,
Dreaming while stars are beaming
Oh Mister Ching Chong
sing song man.

When you're in Frisco town
Don't fail to stop around
and see this Ching Chong man,
Wonderful things you'll learn
down where the torches burn
He'll show you all he can;
Then when the time is ripe
He'll fill your little pipe
and then a light he'll bring,
Gently you'll float away
far out on Slumber Bay
and softly you will sing.

Ching Chong
Oh Mister Ching Chong
You're the King of Chinatown,
Ching Chong,
I love your sing song
when you have turned the lights all down.
Ching Chong
just let me swing 'long
thru the realms of drowsy land,
Dreaming while stars are beaming
Oh Mister Ching Chong
sing song man.

Ching Chong
Oh Mister Ching Chong
You're the King of Chinatown,
Ching Chong,
I love your sing song
when you have turned the lights all down.
Ching Chong
just let me swing 'long
thru the realms of drowsy land,
Dreaming while stars are beaming
Oh Mister Ching Chong
sing song man.
