George Formby: ‘Chinese Laundry Blues’
“Now Mr. Wu was a laundry man in a shop with an old green door.
He’ll iron all day your linen away, he really makes me sore.
He’s lost his heart to a Chinese girl and his laundry’s all gone wrong.
All day he’ll flirt and scorch your shirt, that’s why I’m singing this song.
Oh Mr. Wu, what shall I do?, I’m feeling kind of Limehouse Chinese Laundry Blues”Turned out nice again…
