Chinatown, My Chinatown

Chinatown, My Chinatown

music by Jean Schwartz (right)
lyric by William Jerome

When the town is fast asleep and it's midnight in the sky,
That's the time the festive Chink starts to wink his other eye,
Starts to wink his dreamy eye, lazily you hear him sigh...

Chinatown, my Chinatown, where the lights are low;
Hearts that know no other land, drifting to and fro.
Dreamy, dreamy Chinatown, almond eyes of brown;
Hearts seem light and life seems bright
In dreamy Chinatown...
