The Chinaman & His Old Flame

Thirty years if it’s a day, Faye
Was it really so long ‘go
It seems like only yesterday
Down in the Congo
Me in search of fortune and fame
You to learn to bongo
So, you’ve taken another’s name
I still by Wong, go
What we had was once so right
Where did we wrong, go?
Silly how we used to fight
At hammer and tong, go
Ah, you hum our favourite tune
Touching how that song go
You tempt me with your husky croon
Now where did your sarong go!
Do your vows mean so little
If you cannot be strong, go
My integrity is not so brittle
To whomever you belong, go
That’s not how this egg rolls
Take leave of Hong Kong, go
And don’t ask for whom the bell tolls
For your honour it ding dong, go

Merry Xmas
