Shoe shiner, sho shiner, shoe shiner,
Come back to my Chinatown
I sing for you, shoe shiner

Shoe shiner, sho shiner
Come back to my Chinatown
I sing for you, shoe shiner
Chinatown, Chinatown!
Guardando a orecchio si vede Shangaj
in fondo ai viali di Vienna
e la sua sagoma si accenna
inconfondibile in mezzo al via-vai
Tuo zio ti aspetta, raggiungilo
quando ti guarda decifralo:
tutto cinema, cinema, cinema
ah, come back to my old Chinatown
Ah, zio, zio, com, com
spiega a vita, spiega com
ah, zio, zio, com, com
spiegami biene, spiega perch
e piano piano si strotola
di questo film la pellicola
ah, zio, zio
Come back to my Chinatown
Ecco Duke Ellingtooon, grade boxeur
tutto vantagli e silenzi
Ridi, selvaggio, ridi, ridi
tra i gelsomini dell
Africa buia
solo il nipote capisce lo zio
non c bisogno di diterlo,
sciusci, ti meriti un dollaro,
Ah! Come back to my old Chinatown
Ah, zio, zio, com, com
spiega la vita, spiega perch
ah, zio, zio com, com
spiegami tutto, sppiega cos
e intanto tutto si srotola
come di un film la pellicola
Ah! Zio, zio!
