(jack hues / nick de spig)



China, china, on the sea shore

China, china, on the dance floor

China, china, I must have seen your face before



I’ve been to cairo and I’ve been to khartoum

I’ve seen them places from my rented room

I’ve been to paris and I’ve been to marseille

But that was nothing till I got to cathay



I’ve been to new york and I’ve been to l.a.

I’ve been to delhi and I’ve been to bombay

I’ve been to venice and I’ve been to rome

But now it’s peking that I think of as home



China, china, on the sea shore

China, china, on the dance floor

China, china, there’s no finer place on earth



China, china, I must have seen your face before
