Chinatown Songtext
von The Move

Bury a jar of Shaoxing when the girl is gone
Surely you know the wine will age ′til she's fully grown
Don′t play into the night
Soon enough the world will end
While the lantern is bright

I could find a good time girl in Chinatown
Chinatown
Dancing in my shoes
See the eastern ladies walk in Chinatown
Chinatown
Chain me down
Chinatown love

Maybe I'll drink your jasmine tea then I'll hurry home
Surely you know the likes of me should be left alone
Why they like her before
Soon enough the world will end
If I answer the door


I could find a good time girl in Chinatown
Chinatown
Dancing in my shoes
See the eastern ladies walk in Chinatown
Chinatown
Chain me down
Chinatown love

Look at the tall pagoda through to your window pane
Watching you fly your dragon kite on a cocoa day
You discovered a white orchid in my home
While the lantern is bright

I could find a good time girl in Chinatown
Chinatown
Dancing in my shoes
See the eastern ladies walk in Chinatown
Chinatown
Chain me down
Chinatown love
