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 |
