Chinatown Lyrics by The Jazz Butcher

Bath of Bacon

0

Little lights going on and off in Chinatown
There are little lights going on and off in Chinatown
The Chinese are watching, the Chinese are writing this down
Chinamen are always silent and discreet with you
Chinamen will give you no idea what they plan to do
Chinamen are all inscrutable and so are you
Chinamen are moving silently in the shopping street;
Nobody should ever think that this is indiscreet
Chinamen are very elegant with tiny feet (Tiny feet!)
We must have a plan if we're to outwit all those Chinamen (x3)
(Ah so - Detective Sergeant Ho)
( From the BBCTV series "The Chinese Detective", whose braindead tokenism inspired the (rather odd?) lyrical tone. )
Little lights going on and off in Chinatown
Yes, those little lights going on and off in Chinatown
The Chinese have notebooks and pencils and write this all down
