Lyrics:

Well, the moon is yellow and the people are too

They roll eggs on a bar-b-que

I was feeling kinda cocky with a head full of sake

Down in chinatown

There was dragons flyin' kites high above the stores

Dead fish heads laying on the floor

I got a sideways hickey from a slant-eyed chickie

Down in chinatown

And it was suddenly, was suddenly, whoa whoa

Yeah, suddenly yeah, suddenly whoa whoa

They smelled fish

We smelled like a meat

Sucking on a soda pop oh so sweet

Got a sugar rush that'd would make 'em blush

Down in chinatown

Won ton two ton three ton four

Smoke a cigarette throw it on the floor

I killed the pie-faced mothey with a shoeshine clothy

Down in chinatown

It was suddenly, was suddenly, whoa whoa

Yeah, suddenly, yeah, suddenly whoa whoa

The moonie is yellowie and the people are too

They roll eggs on a bar-b-que

I was feeling kinda cocky with head full of saki

Down in chinatown

I got a sideways hickey from a slant-eyed chickie

Down in chinatown

Hey, down in chinatown

Hey, down in chinatown

there were many Prine fans that didn't care for this album...but it was a different time, like my man below said...and it was a kick ass record.

People who get up in arms about this song need to grow up and take it all in context. It was a different time, and he isn't being offensive by using the N-Word. Great song, one of my faves by Prine. Under appreciated album.
