[Verse]
Now FMr. Wu was a Db7laundry man in a Fshop with an C7old green Fdoor.
He'll C7iron all day your Flinen away, he rG7eally makes me C7sore.
He's lGmost his Bbm6heart to a C7Chinese girl and his lFaundry's Bbm6all gone Fwrong.
All G7day he'll flirt and scorch your shirt, that's Fwhy I'm sG7inging this C7song.
Oh Mr. FWu, Caugwhat shall I Fdo, I'm fCaugeeling kind oFf Limehouse Chinese Db7LaundC7ry FBlues.
This funF7ny fBbeeling keeps round me sFtealing
Oh G7won't you throw your sweetheart over C7do.
My Caugvest's so Fshort that it won't fit my little brother.
And my new AaugSunday Dmshirt has got a Db7perforated rudder.
Mr. FWu, what shall I D7do, I'm feeling G7kind of Limehouse Abdim7Chinese Db7Laund-C7ry FBlues.
[Chorus]
Now CaugMr. FWu, he's got a naughty eye that flickers.
You ought Aaugto see it Dmwobble when he's Db7ironing ladies .. blouses.
Mr. FWu, what shall I D7do, I'm feeling G7kind of Limehouse Abdim7Chinese Db7Laund-C7ry FBlues.
#3
Now CaugMr. FWu, he's got a laundry kind of tricky,
He'll Aaugstarch my shirts and Dmcollars but he'll Db7never touch my .. waistcoat
Mr. FWu, what shall I D7do, I'm feeling G7kind of Limehouse Abdim7Chinese Db7Laund-C7ry FBlues.
