[Verse 1]
On a foggy day in 'Frisco Bay, I stopped to eat
At a little Oriental shop on a crowded street (On a crowded street)
It was there I saw her in candlelight
So lovely and so fair (Fair)
And I lost my heart, baby, right then and there
(Right then and there)

[Chorus]
And no matter where I go, I know my heart is bound (Bound)
To that Chinatown, in a tea house in Chinatown (In Chinatown)

[Verse 2]
Her every move seemed to be melody (A melody)
And she stole my heart with a humble smile
As she served my cup of tea
It hurt me so to see her turn and walk away (Walk away)
'Cause I knew I couldn't stand to see her serve another man
(Serve another man)

[Chorus]
Though 'Frisco Bay is far away, in memory still around (Around)
That Chinatown
I found in a tea house in Chinatown

[Outro]
Oriental girl, found you in Chinatown
No matter how far I go, I know my heart is bound (Bound)
To that Chinatown, I found in a tea house in Chinatown
(In Chinatown)
Oriental girl, found you in Chinatown
I love her still, ooh, I guess I always will
