Welcome To Chinatown |
| In the cool of the evening |
| I don’t know the reason |
| But I long to touch |
| Some young tender hearts sometimes |
| So I go to this party |
| With a bunch of me hardies |
| They say don’t get too cute |
| Don’t get too smart |
| 'Cause these people are crazy |
| They toot coke and drink wang-too |
| And they talk in some crazy tongue |
| There’s a slit-eyed lady |
| Say’n don’t you be so stupid |
| I may be old but I’m still good fun |
| Still good fun |
| Yeah I’m still good fun |
| Well I ain’t that choosy |
| I’ll flip-flop with a floozy |
| If I figure there’s no strings attached |
| But sometimes I loose my feet |
| Underneath the back seat |
| And I have to fly my heart at half mast |
| Well this old bitty |
| She was smart and she was witty |
| She was really out of control you know |
| It was stumble or fall |
| I had my back to the wall |
| I didn’t know to bet on win, place or show |
| Welcome to Chinatown, she said |
| I’m gonna lay your body down, she said |
| I ain’t no queen, but I’m wearin’this crown |
| She said |
| Welcome to Chinatown |
| Welcome to Chinatown |
| Well she shimmered and she shook |
| What she wanted she took |
| She shook like some rickshaw ride |
| She stuck her fingers down my throat |
| 'Till I almost choked |
| I thought I’d gone heaven and died |
| Well she took me by the ear |
| And said what do you want to hear boy |
| You want to hear those crazy old lies |
| I said nothing you can say girl |
| Can drive me away |
| Just check my complexion |
| Make sure I’m still alive |
| Welcome to Chinatown, she said |
| I’m gonna lay your body down, she said |
| I ain’t no queen, but I’m wearin’this crown |
| She said |
| Welcome to Chinatown |
| Welcome to Chinatown |
| Welcome to Chinatown |
| Welcome to Chinatown |
