Miscellaneous
Lo Zio
Shoe shiner, sho shiner, shoe shiner,
Come back to my Chinatown
I sing for you, shoe shiner
I show a memory´s clown
I shoe a memory´s clown
Shoe shiner, sho shinerâ¦
Come back to my Chinatown
I sing for you, shoe shinerâ ¦
Chinatown, Chinatown!
Looking by ear you can see Shangaj
at the end of the avenues of Vienna
and its silhouette is hinted at
unmistakable in the midst of the comings and goingsâ ¦
â¦Your uncle is waiting for you, join him
when he looks at you decipher it:
it's all cinema, cinema, cinema
ah, come back to my old Chinatownâ¦
Ah, uncle, uncle, how is it, how is it
explain to life, explain how is it
ah, uncle, uncle, how is it, how is it ¨
explain to me well, explain why
and little by little the film of this film unravels
ah, uncle, uncle...
Come back to my Chinatown... ¦
Here is Duke Ellingtooon, grade boxer
all boasts and silences...
...Laugh, wild man, laugh, laugh
among the jasmines of dark Africa... />only the nephew understands the uncle
there's no need to say it,
chush, you deserve a dollar,
Ah! Come back to my old Chinatown
Ah, uncle, uncle, how is it, how is it
explains life, explains why
ah, uncle, uncle how is it, how it is
explain everything to me, explain what it is
and meanwhile everything unrolls
like the film of a film...
Ah! Uncle, uncle!â¦
