Down Chinatown Way
Hey guys, where are you goin'?
Chinatown, it's Chinese New Year
That's right, there's a big parade what's like
Come with us and you'll see for yourself
Cool
On the 15th day of the Lunar New Year
We take a train down to Chinatown
To celebrate with a jubilant crowd
Parade begins as the sun goes down
Down Chinatown way (Chinatown, Chinatown)
New Year's day (New Year's day)
Down Chinatown way (Chinatown)
See the Lion dancers in crimson and gold
Twist and turn to the cymbal and drum
Firecrackers go crackle and bang
Bringing luck for the year to come
Down Chinatown way (Chinatown, Chinatown)
New Year's day (New Year's day)
Down Chinatown way (Chinatown)
Well, they left their home with American dreams (ooh-oh)
Of freedom and opportunity
And they brought their ancient traditional themes (ooh-oh)
To share today with you and me
See the children's Lantern Procession float past
As dragons flash their vermilion eyes
"Ooh's" and "Ah's" are crescendoing now
As fireworks fill the evening skies
Down Chinatown way (Chinatown, Chinatown)
New Year's day (New Year's day)
Down Chinatown way (Chinatown)
New Year's day (New Year's day)
Down Chinatown way (Chinatown, Chinatown)
New Year's day (New Year's day)
Down Chinatown way (Chinatown)
New Year's day (New Year's day)
Down Chinatown way (Chinatown, Chinatown)
New Year's day (New Year's day)
Down Chinatown way (Chinatown)
New Year's day (New Year's day)
Down Chinatown way (Chinatown, Chinatown)
New Year's day (New Year's day)
Down Chinatown way (Chinatown)
(恭喜發財)
