Chinatown, My Chinatown    (1910)

When the town is fast asleep, and it's midnight in the sky
That's the time the festive Chink starts to wink his other eye
Starts to wink his dreamy eye, lazily you'll hear him sigh

Chinatown, my Chinatown
Where the lights are low
Hearts that know no other land
Drifting to and fro

Dreamy, dreamy Chinatown
Almond eyes of brown
Hearts seems light and life seems bright
In dreamy Chinatown

Strangers taking in the sights, pig-tails flying here and there
See that broken Wall Street sport, still thinks he's a millionaire
Still thinks he's a millionaire, pipe dreams banish every care

Chinatown, my Chinatown
Where the lights are low
Hearts that know no other land
Drifting to and fro

Dreamy, dreamy Chinatown
Almond eyes of brown
Hearts seems light and life seems bright
In dreamy Chinatown

Chinatown, my Chinatown
Where the lights are low
Hearts that know no other land
Drifting to and fro

Dreamy, dreamy Chinatown
Almond eyes of brown
Hearts seems light and life seems bright
In dreamy Chinatown
