What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
In the cool of the evening
2
I don't know the reason
3
But I long to touch
4
Some young tender hearts sometimes
5
So I go to this party
6
With a bunch of me hardies
7
They say don't get too cute
8
Don't get too smart
9
'Cause these people are crazy
10
They toot coke and drink wang-foo
11
And they talk in some crazy tongue
12
There's a slit-eyed lady
13
Sayin', don't you be so stupid
14
I may look old, but I'm still good fun
15
Still good fun
16
Yeah, I'm still good fun
17
Well, I ain't that choosy
18
I'll flip-flop with a floozy
19
If I figure there's no strings attached
20
But sometimes I lose my feet
21
Underneath the back seat
22
And I have to fly my heart at half mast
23
Well, this old bitty
24
She was smart and she was witty
25
She was really out of control, you know
26
It was stumble or fall
27
I had my back to the wall
28
I didn't know whether to bet or win, place or show
29
[Chorus:]
30
Welcome to Chinatown, she said
31
I'm gonna lay your body down, she said
32
I ain't no queen, but I'm wearin' this crown
33
She said,
34
Welcome to Chinatown
35
Welcome to Chinatown
36
Well, she shimmered and she shook
37
What she wanted, she took
38
She shook like some rickshaw ride
39
She stuck her fingers down my throat
40
'Til I almost choked
41
I thought I'd gone to heaven and died
42
Well, she took me by the ear
43
And said, what do you want to hear, boy
44
You want to hear those crazy old lies
45
I said nothing you can say girl
46
Can drive me away
47
Just check my complexion
48
Make sure I'm still alive
49
[Chorus]
50
Welcome to Chinatown
51
Welcome to Chinatown
