Lyrics
SUNSHINE
THAT THE NEW DAY BRINGS
ON THE EAST SIDE
SHE'S GOT EVERYTHING I NEED-
TALKIN' 'BOUT MY ASIAN GIRL
WITH THE KNOWING SMILE
SHE GOT A SEXY WALK
IN THE LATEST HONG KONG STYLES-
CHORUS:
HANGIN' AROUND IN CHINATOWN
HANGIN' AROUND IN CHINATOWN
GOOD TIMES
WITH THE GIRL I LOVE
SHE'S ALL MINE
AND I CAN'T GET ENOUGH-
TALKIN' BOUT MY CHINA DOLL
SHE REALLY MAKES ME SMILE
SHE CALL ME WHITE BOY
AND WE LAUGH UNTIL WE CRY
CHROUS:
SUNDAY
WE'RE HANGIN' IN THE PARK
PLAYIN' GAMES
AND WE SIP TEA 'TIL IT'S DARK
PEOPLE DOIN' TAI CHI
SMOKIN' CIGARETTES
PLAYING MA JONG
PLACING BETS-
CHORUS:
I GET UP EARLY AND RIDE THE TRAIN
ALL THOSE FACES WITHOUT NAMES
SHE SITS REAL CLOSE AND TAKES MY HAND
LET'S ME KNOW SHE UNDERSTANDS
EVERYTIME I FEEL HER BREATH
I'M A MILLION MILES AWAY
CAUGHT UP IN THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS
OF CHINATOWN
CHINATOWN
