Welcome To Chinatown Lyrics - Mellencamp John Cougar

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 

Say'n, 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 

Till I almost choked 

I thought I'd gone 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
