You've all heard the Chinese Blues,
of sweet little china girl
Sung Fong Loo
she's got a new sweetheart they say
He's the Fan Tan Man,
that's the game he plays.
He loves little Sung Fong Loo;
she's in love with Fan Tan too.
All night long his game he play
then he hears his sweetheart say:

Oh my Fan Tan Fan Tan man
from that quaint old China Land.
Sung Fong cry come home to me
sing that ipshing Hong Kong lee
I'm as lonesome as can be.
For my Fan Tan Fan Tan Man.
Loo for you do all she can.
When we marry we will go
live in Chinese Bungalow
Oh my Fan Tan Man.

Oh my Fan Tan Fan Tan man
from that quaint old China Land.
Sung Fong cry come home to me
sing that ipshing Hong Kong lee
I'm as lonesome as can be.
For my Fan Tan Fan Tan Man.
Loo for you do all she can.
When you marry your little Loki
you be papa bye and bye
Oh my Fan Tan Man.

Oriental style today
is to bill and coo in Chinese way.
They're married now and happy too
and they live in that chinese bungalow.
No more he stay out all night,
coming home at broad day light.
He's so happy now they say
since he heard his sweetheart say:

Oh my Fan Tan Fan Tan man
from that quaint old China Land.
Sung Fong cry come home to me
sing that ipshing Hong Kong lee
I'm as lonesome as can be.
For my Fan Tan Fan Tan Man.
Loo for you do all she can.
When we marry we will go
live in Chinese Bungalow
Oh my Fan Tan Man.

Oh my Fan Tan Fan Tan man
from that quaint old China Land.
Sung Fong cry come home to me
sing that ipshing Hong Kong lee
I'm as lonesome as can be.
For my Fan Tan Fan Tan Man.
Loo for you do all she can.
When you marry your little Loki
you be papa bye and bye
Oh my Fan Tan Man.
