|
When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town |
|
Down around San Antone |
|
And the folks are risin' for another day |
|
'Round about their home |
|
The people of the town are strange |
|
And they're proud of where they came |
|
Well, you're talking 'bout Ch-China Grove, whoa ho ho |
|
Whoa, ho, China Grove |
|
Well, the preacher and the teacher |
|
Lord, they're a caution |
|
They are the talk of the town |
|
When the gossip gets to flyin' |
|
And they ain't lyin' |
|
When the sun goes fallin' down |
|
They say that the Father's insane |
|
And dear Missus Perkin's a game |
|
We're talkin' 'bout Ch-China Grove, whoa ho ho |
|
Whoa, ho, China Grove |
|
But every day there's a new thing comin' |
|
The ways of an Oriental view |
|
The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords |
|
You can even hear the music at night |
|
And though it's a part of the Lone Star State |
|
The people don't seem to care |
|
They'll just keep on lookin' to the east |
|
A-talkin' 'bout Ch-China Grove, whoa ho ho |
|
Whoa, ho, China Grove |
