Now Mr. Wu was a laundry man in a shop with an old green door 
     Eb7                Ab              Bb7            Eb7
Hed iron all day your linen away, he really makes me sore 
     Bbm                       Eb7 
Hes lost his heart to a Chinese girl 
         Ab        Dbm6     Ab
and his laundrys all gone wrong 
     Bb7   
All day hell flirt and scorch your shirt  
                            Eb7
Thats why Im singing this song 
 
Chorus :  
       Ab             F7              Bb7
Oh Mr. Wu, what can I do, Im feeling kind of limehouse  
   E7   Eb7     Ab      Ab7
Chinese laundry blues  
            Db           Dbm       Ab       F7

Oh wont you throw your sweatheart over do 
              Ab                  Ab7
My vests so short that it wont fit my little brother 
        Db                       E7  
And my new sunday shirt has got a perforated rudder 
    Ab  C7          F7               Bb7
Mr. Wu what shall I do, Ive feeling kind of limehouse  
     E7  Eb7   Ab

 Eb7     Ab               Ab7
Now Mr. Wu, hes got a naughty eye that flickers 
     Db
You ought to see him wobble  
            E7  
When hes ironing ladies blouses 
    Ab C7           F7                Bb7
Mr. Wu what shall I do, Ive feeling kind of limehouse  
    E7   Eb7   Ab 
Chinese laundry blues 
 
 
Eb7     Ab             Ab7   
Now Mr. Wu hes got a laundry kind of tricky 
       Db
Hell starch my shirt and collars  
           E7  
But hell never touch my waistcoat 
    Ab  C7          F7              Bb7
Mr. Wu what shall I do, Im feeling kind of limehouse 
    E7   Eb7    Ab
