In a fairy book
a Chinese crook
has won such wondrous fame.
But nowadays
he appears in plays
and Chu Chin Chow's his name.
With his forty thieves
he now achieves
a great success each night;
just lend an ear
and listen here
and I will put you right.

Beware of Chu Chin Chow
Take care he's coming now,
he's a robber from the Orient
and he's filled with Chinese sentiment.
At night when lights are low,
he wanders to and fro,
he's the master of his art
he can steal a girlie's heart
love he'll plunder,
he's a wonder
Chu Chin Chow.

Mister Chu Chin Chow
you must allow
has a manner all his own.
For he does not woo as others do
He's never quite alone
with his forty jugs
he carries hugs
and kisses to bestow.
'Tis in the sand
he'll win your hand,
this Chinese Romeo.
