Lyrics
1. Little Allee Fo Chong played all day in an oriental way
In a swell Chinese Cafe
But Allee loved his rag the same as you
And every evening when his work was thru
Allee layed his Tom Tom down
Pretty soon you hear this sound
Chorus
“Chong, he come from Hong Kong
Where Chinee man play allee day on a drum
Chong no likee that song
Where Chinee man cry ‘way up high
Sing-ee, sung-ay, mung-ay, chick-a-lick-a-fung-ay
Chong bo back to Hong Kong
I betcha he teachee his China girl how to dance
Like in a trance
Teachee peachee Melican song, all day long
To his China girl in old Hong Kong”
2. Little Allee Fo Chong sailed away on the liner “Sakoshay”
For his home port far away
He said, “When I come back I bringee bride
You see a China maiden by my side
Allee know she wait for he
Every day so patiently”
