[Intro] - Riff played 3 times.
Oh oh oh oh-oh Little China
Girl Oh oh oh oh-oh Little China Girl
I could escape this feeling with my China Girl
I feel a wreck without my little China Girl
I feel her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing
I'm a mess without my little China Girl
Wake up in the mornings where's my little China Girl
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing down
I feel a-tragic like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes
My little China Girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are (you know)
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby, just you shut your mouth
She says sh-sh-shhh
She says sh-sh-shhh
She Says She says
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby, just you shut your mouth
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby, just you shut your mouth
She says sh-sh-shhh
She says sh-sh-shhh
She Says
[Play opening Riff to fade]
Oh oh oh oh-oh Little China Girl
Oh oh oh oh-oh Little China Girl
Oh oh oh oh-oh Little China Girl
Oh oh oh oh-oh Little China Girl
