[Chorus]
Trying to find Chinatown
Trying to find Chinatown

[Verse 1]
A hungry man
Can hold out a long time
For some soul food
Good food, whole food
I know I was that man
Maybe sometimes hold out a little too long

[Verse 2]
I took a right
Then I took a wrong turn
Someone asked me
For a quarter
It didn't seem to fit
He didn't look much like a Chinaman

[Chorus]
Trying to find Chinatown
I was trying to find Chinatown
Trying to find Chinatown
I was trying to find Chinatown
[Verse 3]
An old black man
Pushed a shopping trolley
Filled with tin cans
Avoided his glance
I'm nervous and I'm lost
And I don't see too many restaurants

[Verse 4]
A guy laid out
With a knife in his back
A cop came along
Told him, "Move on
Go home and sleep it off"
I didn't know if I should get involved

[Chorus]
Trying to find Chinatown
I was trying to find Chinatown
Trying to find Chinatown
I was trying to find Chinatown

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Trying to find Chinatown
I was trying to find Chinatown
Trying to find Chinatown
I was trying to find Chinatown
Trying to find Chinatown
I was trying to find Chinatown
Trying to find Chinatown
