[C7] Now Mr. [F] Wu was a [Db7] laundry man
In a [F] shop with an [C7] old green [F] door
He'd [C7] iron all day your [F] linen away
He [G7] really makes me [C7] sore
He's [Gm] lost his [C7] heart to a [Gm] Chinese [C7] girl
And his [F] laundry's all [Bbm] gone [F] wrong
All [G7] day he'll flirt and scorch your shirt
That's why I'm singing this [C7] song
{c: }
[C7] Oh Mr. [F] Wu, what can I [D7] do,
I'm feeling [G7] kind of Limehouse
[Db7] Chinese [C7] laundry [F] blues [F7]
This funny [Bb] feeling, keeps [Bbm] round me [F] stealing [D7]
Oh [G7] wont you throw your sweat-heart over [C] do [Am] [C7]
My vests so [F] short that it wont fit [F7] my little brother
And my [Bb] new Sunday shirt has got a [Db7] perforated rudder
Mr. [F] Wu [A7] what shall I [D7] do, I'm feeling [G7] kind of Limehouse
[Db7] Chinese [C7] laundry [F] blues
{c: }
[C7] Now Mr. [F] Wu, he's got a [F7] naughty eye that flickers
You [Bb] ought to see it wobble
When he's [Db7] ironing ladies blouses!
Mr. [F] Wu [A7] what shall I [D7] do, I'm feeling [G7] kind of Limehouse
[Db7] Chinese [C7] laundry [F] blues
[C7] Now Mr. [F] Wu he's got a [F7] laundry kind of tricky
Hell [Bb] starch my shirt and collars
But he'll [Db7] never touch my waistcoat!
Mr. [F] Wu [A7] what shall I [D7] do, I'm feeling [G7] kind of Limehouse
[Db7] Chinese [C7] laundry [F] blues
