10,000 Chinese Walk Into A Bar Lyrics - The Rose Hotel - Robert Earl Keen

10000 chinese walk into a bar 

order upa beer 

the barman says, its funny you know 

we dont get many Chinese in here 

i dont know if i got it right maybe no one knows 

its just a joke i heard one night 

and thats the way it goes 

i ll have one 

grab a chair and stay all night 

make yourself at home 

i may be wrong but thats alright 

i am not alone 

a little man in this little town 

he wears a lot of hats 

he always out tom cattin around 

hes got a thing for cats 

i aint seen him with a cat 

so aint really sure 

but listen close cause when he talks 

sometimes you hear him purr 

there aint a cure 

grab a chair and stay all night 

make yourself at home 

i may be wrong but thats alright 

i am not alone 

another man he loved duct tape 

he made a duct tape suit 

and he had duct tape from the top of his hat 

to the heel of his cowboy boot 

and when he died they buried him 

down in that cold cold ground 

and they stuff him in that pine box boy 

and then they taped him down 

i was out of town 

grab a chair and stay all night 

make yourself at home 

i may be wrong but thats alright 

i am not alone 

and then there was this Irishman 

who, uh, stayed drunk all time 

im sorry friend i screwed that up 

i told you the punch line 

anyway i got to split 

there just about to close 

but ill be back tomorrow night 

cause that the way it goes 

yeah thats the way it goes
