Sleep there's nothing to do today

Watch the vegetables rot

The monkfish flop

Down in Chinatown

Find your hand between your legs

The fortune teller frowns

Packs her cards away

She tells you she won't say

Down in Chinatown

Let the bath tub overflow

It's time to go

Your bourbon on the rocks

You're running out the clock

In Chinatown

Gather yourself together

And meet me where the

West Side highway roars

Don't listen to the story they tell you

The Emperor snores

Down in Chinatown

Hearts may break by morning

A soldier's a dime a dozen

Kiss your little yellow cousins

In Chinatown

Swallow your holy water

And wake beneath a shady lichee tree

So much water under so many bridges

The Communists won't call you

And the children won't harm you

Playing in the hall

In Chinatown
