Chinatown Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

Bury a jar of shao-sing 

When the girl is born 

Surely you know the wine will age 

Till she's fully grown 

Dont fly into the night 

Soon enough the world will end 

While the lantern is right 

Chorus 

I could find a good time girl in chinatown 

Chinatown 

Dancing in my shoes 

See the eastern ladies walking chinatown 

Chinatown 

Chain me down 

Chinatown 

Maybe ill drink your jasmine tea 

Then ill 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 

Chorus 

Look at the tall pagoda through 

Through your window pane 

Watching it by your dragon night 

On a cocoa day 

Youll discover the white 

Orchids in my humble moon 

While the lantern is right 

Chorus
