Paul Young - Down In Chinatown Lyrics
I got some so-called friends
They'll smile right to my face
But, when my back is turned
They'd like to stick it to me
Yes they would
There's only one thing I need to know
Whose side are you on
I fly into J.F.K.
My heart goes boom boom boom
I know that customs man
He's going to take me
To that little room
Oh no no. Oh no, no
There's only one thing I need to know
Whose side are you on
I got the paranoia blues
From knockin' around in New York City
Where they roll you for a nickel
And they stick you for the extra dime
Anyway you choose
You're bound to lose in New York City
Oh I just got out in the nick of time
Well I just got out in the nick of time
Once I was down in Chinatown
I was eating some Lin's Chow Fon
I happened to turn around
And when I looked I see
My Chow Fon's gone
Oh no, no. Oh no, no
There's only one thing I need to know
Whose side are you on, whose side are you on
There's only one thing I need to know
Whose side, whose side, whose side

Muy bonita........

@grooverunner Late reply but you are welcome. Its a fantastic song
with the great film composer Mark Isham on trumpet, this is a wonderful collaboration between Paul & Kathleen. It really should have been a hit. The album is one of his best, too. Thanks for this!
grooverunner I want to know why it wasn't a huge hit....something with promotion is not working.....but hopefully this and so many other great songs of Paul"s throughout the years will still be rereleased and promoted well. They could all still become mega hits.
