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-foo And they talk in some crazy tongue There's a slit-eyed lady Sayin', don't you be so stupid I may look 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 lose 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 whether to bet or 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 'Til I almost choked I thought I'd gone to 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 Welcome to Chinatown
