Overslept this morning then I couldn’t find my shoes
Now I’m running late for a job interview
I can’t find the meetin’ and I haven’t eaten yet
Got the lost in Chinatown Blues
[chorus]
Got holes in my pockets and holes in my shoes
I can’t speak the language so I can’t read the news
Lost in a sea of people staring at me
Got the lost in Chinatown Blues
They said “you can’t miss it” but you know it ain’t true
So I took a wrong turn down on third avenue
It’s a one way street, there’s people honkin’ at me
Got the lost in Chinatown Blues
