He's a Chinese Junkman from Hong Kong
Cheeks so red and his hair so long
Smoking his pipe all day long, getting higher
Keeps on going as the night gets late
Keeps on flowing and he just can't wait
Money all around and he's feeling great, getting higher
As I sailed into Hong Kong harbour, there I saw the man
His arms out stretched and his feet were larger
Than his pair of hands
Well, he looked like a Chinese Junkman
And his face was painted red
And his eyes were black and his teeth were green
With a straw hat on his head
He's a Chinese Junkman from Hong Kong
Cheeks so red and his hair so long
Drinks his whisky all night long, getting higher
Keeps on going as the night gets late
Keeps on flowing and he just can't wait
Money all around and he's feeling great, getting higher
Stepped aboard his Chinese junk and I could hear him say
Come take a look-see in my trunk and buy something today
Well, I looked at the Chinese Junkman and he gave me a toothy grin
And it seemed to me all I could buy were extraneous bits of tin
He's a Chinese Junkman, he's a Chinese Junkman
He's a Chinese Junkman
He's a Chinese Junkman from Hong Kong
Cheeks so red and his hair so long
Counting shekels all night long, getting higher
Keeps on going as the night gets late
Keeps on flowing and he just can't wait
Money all around and he's feeling great, getting higher
He's a Chinese, a Chinese, Chinese
He's a Chinese, a Chinese, Chinese
He's a Chinese, a Chinese, Chinese
He's a Chinese, a Chinese, Chinese Junkman
