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
|
|
[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
|
|
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
|
|
[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
|
Welcome to Chinatown
|
Welcome to Chinatown
|
