On a foggy day in Frisco Bay, I stopped to eat
D#m
At a little Oriental shop on a crowded street
G#m
It was there I saw her in candlelight so lovely and so fair
D#m
And I lost my heart, baby, right then and there
[Refrão]
A#
No matter where I go, I know my heart is bound
D#m
To that China doll I found in a tea house in Chinatown
[Verso 2]
D#m
Her every movement seemed to be a melody
D#m
And she stole my heart with a humble smile as she served my cup of tea
A#
It hurt me so to see her turn and walk away
D#m
'Cause I knew I couldn't stand to see her serve another man
[Refrão]
A#
Though Frisco Bay is far away, the memory is still around

That China doll I found in a tea house in Chinatown
D#m
Oriental girl, found you in Chinatown

To that China doll, I found in a tea house in Chinatown

Oriental girl, found you in Chinatown
