Classic Poem

I GO down to Dupont Street
See my very good friend:
I have something good to eat
With my very good friend:
Feel damblue and want some fun,
Play fantan with Wun Fat Bun,
He think me just Number One,
He my very good friend.
Yum poi — I no care!
Yum poi — you no care!
Sometime good time alla time maybe!
We no care — yum poi!

Hello, how do, come in, sit down!
You my very good friend!
You come best place in Chinatown,
You my very good friend!
Too much cold and rain in street,
You look sick, me stand you treat,
Fix up something good to eat
For my very good friend.
Yum poi — I no care!
Yum poi — you no care!
Sometime good time alla time maybe!
We no care — yum poi!

S'pose you like some extra-dry,
You my very good friend:
S'pose you like some bolo-guy,
You my very good friend!
Birdnest soup and some shark-fin,
Bamboo-stick in chicken-wing,
Mushroom stew with everything
For my very good friend.
Yum poi — I no care!
Yum poi — you no care!
Sometime good time alla time maybe!
We no care — yum poi!

Plenty eat and plenty drink
For my very good friend!
You stay here all night, I think,
You my very good friend!
I lock fast big outside door,
Have best time you had before,
Sing-song girlie come some more
For my very good friend.
Yum poi — I no care!
Yum poi — you no care!
Sometime good time alla time maybe!
We no care — yum poi!

Sing-song girlie dance for you,
Sing, my very good friend!
No more now you feel damblue,
Sing, my very good friend!
Too much drink and too much fun
Just enough for Number One,
You know nothing when you done,
O my very good friend!
Yum poi — I no care!
Yum poi — you no care!
Sometime good time alla time maybe!
We no care — yum poi!
