When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
Do wn around San Antone
And the folks are risin' for another day
'R ound about their home
The people of the town are strange
And they're proud of where they came
Well, you're talking 'bout Ch-C hina Grove, whoa ho ho
Wh oa, ho, China Grove
Well, the preacher and the teacher
Lord, they're a caution
Th ey are the talk of the town
When the gossip gets to flyin'
And they ain't lyin'
When the s un goes fallin' down
They say that the Father's insane
And dear Missus Perkin's a game
We're talkin' 'bout Ch-C hina Grove, whoa ho ho
Wh oa, ho, China Grove
But every day there's a new thing comin'
The ways of an Oriental view
The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords
You can even hear the music at night
And though it's a part of the Lone Star State
The people don't seem to care
They'll just keep on l ookin' to the east
B♭／FonA／F C B♭／FonA／F C B♭／FonA／F C B♭／FonA／
A-talkin' 'bout Ch-C hina Grove, whoa ho ho
Wh oa, ho, China Grove
