Chin Chin Chinaman

 

Version 1:

Chin chin chinaman bought a little shop

And all he sold was peppermint rock

He wee'd in a bottle and called it pop

Chin chin chinaman bought a little shop

 

Version 2:

Chin chin chinaman tried to milk a cow

Chin chin chinaman didn't know how

Chin chin chinaman pulled the wrong tit

Chin chin chinaman got a mouthful of <removed>

Thanks for this. I don't somehow think this was my grandmother's version, unless she'd cleaned it up a bit. Anyone know any more versions - I'm sure there must be a few.

 

could be we used to sing mucky verses at school then cleaner versions for home :D

in 1973 i was 5 and lived in hong kong...

 

there was a similar ever-so-slightly-racist rhyme there which began:

 

cing-chong-chinaman went to the loo

 

the rest is of too bad taste for this forum!

 

no wonder the chinese kids used to tell us english kids to (UNREPEATEABLE) each morning!

Showing my age here, my grandma used to have this very un-PC version.

 

Chin Chin Chinaman, bought a penny doll,

Washed it, dressed it, called it Pretty Poll

Sent for the Doctor, the Doctor couldn't come

Because he had a pimple on his big fat bum.

 

Apologies!:blush:
