Lyrics:
Take the cable car to JacksonIt's a Friday night affairMadam Rose's legendary honeycombWith an ounce of intuitionYou can feel it in the airThis working boy has found a place to roamAs some familiar facesWatch every move you makeAnd at midnight games are snaking through the alleywayWhere they used to playDown in Chinatown..woahWhere the nights are always longer than the daysDown in Chinatown..woahWith the dragon eyes that overlook the bayHey yeahThere's a lair below the cityWhere the bottom dwellers goTrying to find that thrill they've never knownA woman bores the absintheAs the paper lanterns glowI think Ms. Jones is better left aloneThe corridors are endlessIt's not hard to lose your wayWhere old men smoke and gamble into SaturdayDo you want to play?Down in Chinatown..woahWhere the nights are always longer than the daysDown in Chinatown..woahWith the dragon eyes that overlook the bayHey yeahIf the California street lineIs the only way you knowYou might want to play it safeDown on Grant AvenueWhere he waits for youDown in Chinatown..woahWhere the nights are always longer than the daysDown in Chinatown..woahWith the dragon eyes that overlook the bayHey yeah
