An Irishman In Chinatown
Luka Bloom

Oh the other day in Chinatown

A place you all know well

I was taking in the action all around

There was people rushing everywhere

With things to buy and sell

There was taxis looking for someone to run down

I was studying the walkmans in a special discount store

When I saw her walking by

Oh, she was unbelievably beautiful

And I'd love the things she wore

So there and then up to her I did fly


We could go for a walk

We could maybe stay in

We could have a good talk

But then again

I'd love to just take you for a walk down Broadway

Or any aul' way

Just yourself and meself, ah go on!


She says I come from China

I says I'm from Ireland

And Isn't this a fine small world

So we went down to the village

And we'd been walking hand in hand

Admiring all the things I couldn't afford


We could go for a walk

We could maybe stay in

We could have a good talk

But then again

I'd love to just give you one small kiss

Just a little one, ah go on!


Oh well, she brought me back to her place

Just to drink a cup of tea

She brought me in and made me feel at home

It was a tiny room she lived in with another family

But they were out and we were all alone


We could go for a walk

We could maybe stay in

We could have a good talk

But then again

I suppose we could get nice and toasty

Watch some tv, see what happens, ah go on!


Well, I woke up on the sidewalk

There was no one there at all

She must have gone with Luka left behind

And when I turned around to look for her

She couldn't hear me call

So the whole affair was only in me mind

Ah...


We could go for a walk

We could maybe stay in

We could have a good talk

But then again...
