China man a big fool, went to night school, Learn to be a Yankee
Bought a little home out on Long Island, Pay a little on ex-
Want to raise 'em up like Yankee children, So a little nursery
ev'ry day; Sent across the waters for my daughters,
tortion plan, Bought a little ticket, computation,
room we had; They will never play there, they reserve it
