When the town is fast asleep
And it's mid-night in the sky,
That's the time the festive chink
Starts to wink his other eye.
Starts to wink his dream-y eye
Lazily you'll hear him sigh.
Chinatown... my Chinatown
Where the lights are low,
Hearts that know no other land,
Drifting to and fro.
Dreamy, dreamy... Chinatown,
Almond eyes of brown,
Hearts seems light
And life seems bright,
In dreamy Chinatown
 
Hearts seems light
And life seems bright,
In dreamy Chinatown
In dreamy Chinatown
In dreamy, dreamy, dreamy... Chinatown
