Lyrics
Porc’lain boy is feeling so terribly lonely
Just because he’s fallen in love with a maid
Though she’s very near him
She don’t seem to hear him
When he sings his little sad serenade
Chorus
Porc’lain Maid I’m calling to you
From my teakwood stand
Porc’lain Maid I’m feeling so blue
Please let me hold your hand
How I long to cuddle and coo
Neath a bamboo shade
I wanna design a Home over in China
For my Porc’lain Maid
Chorus
Porc’lain Boy I’m list’ning to you
From my teakwood stand
Porc’lain Boy, If you’re feeling blue
Come here and hold my hand
If you long to cuddle and coo
Neath a bamboo shade
Why don’t you design a Home over in China
For you Porc’lain Maid
