It was down in Chinatown,
When I met the opium Queen,
Babyface girl from Shanghai,
Never smile and never cry.
She now rules the underworld
Down in Chinatown,
She runs all the opium den
Down in Chinatown.
Bring her your gold, bring her your worries,
And when life gets a bit too dreary to stand
Give a ring to the Queen of Chinatown!
Go down, go down
To the Queen of Chinatown,
She’ll pick you up when you’re feeling down.
Go down, go down
To the Queen of Chinatown,
And she’ll soon blow your blues away.
It was down in Chinatown,
When I met the opium Queen,
Babyface girl from Shanghai,
Never smiled and never cried.
When love isn’t what it sounds
Go to Chinatown,
When your friends have let you down
Go to Chinatown!
When life is pain,
When love is sorrow,
And it gets more than you can possibly stand
Give a ring to the Queen of Chinatown!
Go down, go down
To the Queen of Chinatown,
She’ll pick you up when you’re feeling down.
Go down, go down
To the Queen of Chinatown,
And she will blow your blues away.

When you’re down,
When you’re feeling low,
Give a ring to the Queen of Chinatown!

And she will blow your blues away.
Go down, go down
To the Queen of Chinatown,
