I went to Chinatown
way back in old Hong Kong
To get some Egg Foo Yung
And then I heard a gong

Ling ting tong tried to sing that song
Called Tie-ess-a mo-cum boo-die-ay
Tie-ess-a mo-cum boo
Ling ting tong, he would never be wrong
Go on and sing your song, a-ling ting tong

And I looked around
The lights were going down
And this is what I found
A back in Chinatown
