Lyrics:

I went down to Gentleman Jim's
He looked so wild, I didn't recognise him
Got out the side door, 'cause I had a hunch
When Jim gets wild, he packs a real mean punch
I said, "Hey, Jim, now that's okay
Might try and catch you on a better day!"
Chinatown
Alienation on the second floor
I give it all, but you wanted more
There's one thing, honey, I can't understand
Why you mistake me for some other man
We scratch and fight, and clutch at straws
But, mama, you know where you can find that door
It's a shakedown

I got the feeling, it'll be alright
It may seem strange to you, but it's just part of life
Here in Chinatown
It's a shakedown
From now on, this is a friendly zone
Everybody here can call this home
I said, "Hey, mama, well, that's okay
Might try and catch you on a better day"
Chinatown
I got the feeling it'll be alright
It may seem strange to you, but it's just a part of life
Here in Chinatown
It's a shakedown
Here in Chinatown
It's a shakedown
Chinatown
Shakedown, mama
Get down
Chinatown
It's a shakedown, mama
Chinatown
Oh, get down
It's a shakedown, mama
Chinatown
You better get down, you better get down, better get down
