Intro: Part 1 It's the story of a very unfortunate colored man Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong. He got twenty years privilege taken away from him When he kicked old Buddha's gong Part 2 And now he's popping the piano just to raise the price Of a ticket to the land of the free Well, he says his home's in Frisco where they send the rice But it's really in Tennessee, that's why he said: I need someone to love me I need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco And bury my body there Part 3 I need someone to lend me a fifty dollar bill and then I'll leave Hong Kong behind me for happiness once again Part 4 Won't somebody believe I've a yen to see that bay again Every time I try to leave Sweet opium won't let me fly away I need someone to love me I need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco And bury my body there Outro: That's the story of a very unfortunate colored man Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong. He got twenty years privilege taken away from him When he kicked old Buddha's gong
