Shoot Out in Chinatown

Trouble on the waterfront
Evil in the air
When the Chinatown patrol came down
To bring a little order thereThey came in undercover
To the laundry's back room
And right there before their eyes
Was a Shanghai saloonShoot out in Chinatown
They lined them up against the wall
They're gonna turn the place upside down
Till you won't recognize it at allStreets were wide open
'Til the break of dawn
'Twas Frisco in its heyday
Imported from Hong KongFor about five dollars
Or one thousand yen
You could gamble n ramble in a brothel
Or take it to the opium denShoot out in Chinatown
They nailed up every door
They're gonna level it to the ground
And close it up for evermoreConfucius had once stated
All across the land
Below the surface, crime and love
They go hand in handThe fire dragons burn
Buddha's lost his smile
But swears that we will meet again
In just a little whileShoot out in Chinatown
They lined them up against the wall
They're gonna turn the place upside down
Till you won't recognize it at all
