Lyrics

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 dont 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
(Repeat chorus)

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
(Out)
