Luka Bloom - An Irishman In Chinatown Lyrics
Oh the other day in ChinatownA place you all know wellI was taking in the action all aroundThere was people rushing everywhereWith things to buy and sellThere was taxis looking for someone to run downI was studying the walkmans in a special discount storeWhen I saw her walking byOh, she was unbelievably beautifulAnd I'd love the things she woreSo there and then up to her I did flyWe could go for a walkWe could maybe stay inWe could have a good talkBut then againI'd love to just take you for a walk down BroadwayOr any other wayJust 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 villageAnd we'd been walking hand in handAdmiring all the things I couldn't affordWe could go for a walkWe could maybe stay inWe could have a good talkBut then againI'd love to just give you one small kissJust a little one, ah go on!Oh well, she brought me back to her placeJust to drink a cup of teaShe brought me in and made me feel at homeIt was a tiny room she lived in with another familyBut they were out and we were all aloneWe could go for a walkWe could maybe stay inWe could have a good talkBut then againI suppose we could get nice and toastyWatch some TV, see what happens, ah go on!Well, I woke up on the sidewalkThere was no one there at allShe must have gone with Luka left behindAnd when I turned around to look for herShe couldn't hear me callSo the whole affair was only in me mindAh ...We could go for a walkWe could maybe stay inWe could have a good talkBut then again ...
