CHICAGO

CHICAGO - Mah Jongg lyrics

rate me

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 lying 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 know what she's thinking

She know Mah Jongg

Mah Jongg she don't play

She know Mah Jongg

Waste your life away

(Don't you throw it away)

She know Mah Jongg

Mah Jongg she don't play

But she loves the player

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

(Than to run to her)

Looking up I see her signal

With her fingers through her hair

Telling me the hands are clean

Understanding well

I turn a dragon tail into a pair

And the game is over

She know Mah Jongg

Mah Jongg she don't play

(She don't play)

She know Mah Jongg

Waste your life away

(Don't you throw it away)

She know Mah Jongg

Mah Jongg she don't play

Though I don't obey her

Still she loves the player

She know Mah Jongg

Mah Jongg she don't play

She know Mah Jongg

Waste your life away

(Don't you throw it away)

She know Mah Jongg

Mah Jongg she don't play

Though I don't obey her

Still she loves the player

Three floors up from where the lanterns

Light the parlors on the street

There awaits another world

(There awaits another world)

And though there are not many things

Upon which she and I agree

We enjoy the difference

She know Mah Jongg

Mah Jongg she don't play

(She don't play)

She know Mah Jongg

Waste your life away

(Don't you throw it away)

She know Mah Jongg

Mah Jongg she don't play

Though I don't obey her

Still she loves the player

She know Mah Jongg

Mah Jongg she don't play

She know Mah Jongg

Waste your life away

She know Mah Jongg

Mah Jongg she don't play

Though I don't obey her

Still she loves the player
