[Verse 1]
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-foo
Talk in some crazy tongue
There's a slit-eyed lady
Sayin', "Don't you be so stupid
I may look old but I'm still good fun
Still good fun
Yeah, I'm still good fun
Still good fun
Yeah, I'm still good fun"
[Verse 2]
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 now, this old bitty
She was smart and she was witty
She really was out of control, you know
It was stumble or fall
I had my back to the wall
I didn't know where to bet on win, place or show
[Chorus]
"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"
[Verse 3]
Well, she shimmered and she shook
What she wanted, she took
She shook like some rickshaw ride
She stuck her fingers down my throat
'Til I almost choked
I thought I'd gone to heaven and died
Well, she took me by the ear
Said, "What do you want to hear, boy?
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"
[Chorus]
"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"
[Outro]
Welcome to Chinatown
Welcome to Chinatown
Welcome to Chinatown
Welcome to Chinatown
