Virginia emailed me looking for help with a song about a lonesome China boy or girl. She wrote….
I have been trying to find a song my Aunt used to sing called Lonesome China Girl…
Lonesome China boy on a street in old Shanghai
Feeling kinda blue, what were they to do , Oh Gee, Oh Me Oh My
da da da da ?????? lets have a little chow Mein, my darling
da da da ??? so they built a nest, you can guess the rest, Oh gee, Oh me Oh my.
It has been bugging me for 50 years and although I know the tune, I cannot remember the words in between!!!
When I was 6, my Aunt used to sing this song and we would have tea in her china cups (I have them now)
Anyway, a very nice web site you have. thank you, Virginia Grupe
If anyone can help with this song in any way, please comment below.
Thanks!
Mama Lisa
