If I lived in China I'd have some Chinese children

If I lived in China I'd have some Chinese children

Well out of my toes my little black baby grows

And that's my fact

Well if I lived in China, I'd have some Chinese children

Yeah if I lived in China, I'd have some Chinese children

Well if I lived in China, if I lived in China, uh huh

Well out of my ears my little black baby hears

And that's my fact

Now if I lived in Russia, I'd have some Chinese children

If I lived in Prussia, I'd have some Chinese children

Well if I lived in India, they'd still be Chinese children uh huh

And out my toes my little blue baby grows

And that's another fact

Now if I lived in Ireland, I'd have some Chinese children

Yeah if I lived in Ireland, I'd have some Chinese children

Yeah if I lived in Ireland, if I lived in Ireland, uh huh

Well if I lived in Spainland, they'd still be Chinese children

And if I lived in Greeceland, they'd still be Chinese children

But out of my thumbs my little red baby runs

And that's another fact, an unchanging fact

Now if I lived in my land, which I do, I'd still have Chinese children

And if I lived in Iceland, I'd still have Chinese children

Well if I lived in Greenland, I'd still have Chinese children uh huh

But out of my ears my little grey baby hears

And that's my fact

Well if I lived in Thailand, I'd have some Chinese children

Well if I lived in Japan, I'd still have Chinese children

If I lived in this land, if I lived in that land, uh huh

And up from my lungs and standing on my tongue

My little green baby sung

Yeah if I lived in Brooklyn, I'd still have Chinese children

Yeah if I lived in Oakland, they'd still be Chinese children

Oh if I was an Indian yeah, if I was an Indian, uh huh

Whatever I do they're Chinese through and through, uh huh

Well I got Chinese children

I got Chinese children...
