A third floor walk-up... |
|
One block east of chinatown. |
|
She walked by my window, |
|
While the rain is pouring down. |
|
Looking in she sees the easy money life everywhere |
|
And it's clear she don't approve. (and it's clear she don't approve) |
|
Through a cloud of smoke |
|
I shoot a little smile over there. |
|
And I... She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play. |
|
She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait. |
|
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play. |
|
But she loves to play... |
|
With the dark eyes burning, |
|
I am opening the wall. |
|
Can there be no other chance? |
|
I feel my fortune's turning, |
|
And I wish for nothing else at all. |
|
Looking up |
|
I see her signal with her fingers through her hair |
|
Telling me the hands are clean. |
|
On the... |
|
I turn a dragon tail into a pair. |
|
And the game is over. |
|
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play. |
|
She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait. |
|
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play. |
|
Though I don't obey her, |
|
Still she loves to play her |
|
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play. |
|
She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait. |
|
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play. |
|
But she loves to play... |
|
A tree blows up |
|
From where the lanterns light the parlors on the street .... waiting at the ..... |
|
And though there are not many things a pawn would .... |
|
I'll beat. |
|
We enjoyed the difference. |
|
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play. |
|
She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait. |
|
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play. |
|
But she loves to play... |
