From Here to Shanghai |
| I’ve often wandered down |
| To dreamy Chinatown |
| The home of Ching-a-ling |
| It’s fine! |
| I must declare |
| But now I’m going where |
| I can see the real, real thing |
| I’ll soon be there |
| In a bamboo chair |
| For I’ve got my fare |
| From here to Shanghai |
| Just picture me Sipping Oo-long tea |
| Served by a Chinaman |
| Who speaks a-way up high |
| («Hock-a-my, Hock-a-my») |
| I’ll eat the way they do With a pair of wooden sticks |
| And I’ll have Ching Ling Foo |
| Doing all his magic tricks |
| I’ll get my mail |
| From a pale pig-tail |
| For I mean to sail |
| From here to Shanghai |
| I’ll have them teaching me To speak their language, gee! |
| When I can talk Chinese |
| I’ll come home on the run |
| Then have a barr’ll of fun |
| Calling people what I please |
