Ah... Oh the other day in Chinatown A place you all know well I was taken in the action all around There was people rushing everywhere But things to buy and sell There was taxis looking for someone to run down I was studiying the walkmen in a special discount store And 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 Chorus: 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 the broadway Or any other 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 Chorus 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 that day they were out and we were all alone Chorus 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... Skiddledejauldediddlededay... Chorus Chorus
