Lyrics
China Girl is a little girl
From a town
That's all ya need to know

Lolita was a man-eater
Clocked him like a taxi meter

Fuck gold, she was platinum digger
Shakin' ass, makin' moves on a mover

Visa, then a plane ride to ya
Peace out, she'll kill you like Uma

She skipped away to the shop
She found she didn't have enough
She clocked him lookin' right at her
And sucked on a lollipop
She skipped away to the shop
And she found she didn't have enough
She clocked him lookin' right at her
And sucked on a lollipop

China Girl grew up to be a big girl
Had her sights set on a bigger world
Dial-a-Bride from Sri Lanka
Found herself a Yorkshire banker
Need a Visa
Got with a geezer
Need some money
Paid him with a knees-up
Year later, started to ease-up
Got her own way, shouted out, "See ya"

She skipped away to the shop
She found she didn't have enough
She clocked him looking right at her
And sucked on a lollipop
She skipped away to the shop
And she found she didn't have enough
She clocked him lookin' right at her
And sucked on a lollipop
