[Verse:]
|
Charlie Younge lay smoking on his bunk one night
|
Something happened, filling Charlie Younge with fright
|
Someone placed a bunch of firecrackers under his bunk
|
And touched the stem of each of them
|
With a piece of lighted punk
|
Charlie jumped up in the air
|
Filled with rage he started to swear
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
"Hop Toy, Ming Foy, Sing Goy, Ung Loy
|
Suey Pow, Yenshee Gow Main"
|
|
That bunch of crackers exploded
|
With a bing, bang, boom
|
And so did Charlie Younge
|
In his native tongue
|
With a
|
|
"Hop Toy, Ming Foy, Sing Goy, Ung Loy
|
Hunka Chinee punk"
|
|
Which means
|
"Who the 'hell-ee' put those firecrackers under my bunk?"
