When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
Do wn around San Anto ne
And the folks are risin' for another day
'R ound about the ir home
The people of the town are strange
And they're p roud of where they came
Well, you're talking 'bout Ch-C hina Grove, w hoa ho ho
Wh oa, ho, China Grove
Well, the preacher and the teacher
Lord, they're a caution
Th ey are the talk of t he 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 d ear Missus Perkin's a game
We're talkin' 'bout Ch-C hina Grove, w hoa 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
Th ey'll just keep on l ookin' to t he east
