Bury a jar of Shou Hsing when the girl is born.
Surely you know the wine will age till she?s fully grown.
Don?t fly into the night, sooooooooooon enough the world will end
while the lantern is bright.

I could find a good time girl in Chinatown, Chinatown.
Dancing in my shoes.
See the eastern ladies walk in Chinatown,
Chinatown, chain me down, Chinatown.

Verse 2
Maybe I?ll drink your jasmine tea then I?ll hurry home.
Surely you know the likes of me should be left alone.
Why they like a me for, soon enough the world will end
If I answer the door.
Verse 3
Look at the tall pagoda through, through your window pane.
watching you fly your dragon kite on a cocoa day.
You?ve discovered the white orchids in my humble moon
while the lantern is bright.
