Band Shoot Out In Chinatown Lyrics

Shoot Out In Chinatown Lyrics

Trouble on the waterfront

Evil in the air

When the Chinatown patrol came down

To bring a little order there



They came in undercover

To the laundry's back room

And right there before their eyes

Was a Shanghai saloon



Shoot 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



Streets were wide open

'Til the break of dawn

'Twas Frisco in its heyday

Imported from Hong Kong



For about five dollars

Or one thousand yen

You could gamble n ramble in a brothel

Or take it to the opium den



Shoot out in Chinatown

They nailed up every door

They're gonna level it to the ground

And close it up for evermore



Confucius had once stated

All across the land

Below the surface, crime and love

They go hand in hand



The fire dragons burn

Buddha's lost his smile

But swears that we will meet again

In just a little while



Shoot 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
