The Five Keys – Ling, Ting, Tong lyrics
I sa mok em boo di ay
I sa mok em boo

I went to China Town
Way back in old Hong Kong
Took out some egg fu yon
And then I heard a gong

Ling, Ting, Tong, tried to sing that song called
I sa mok em boo di ay, I sa mok em boo

Ling, Ting, Tong, he would never be wrong
Go on and sing your song, a Ling, Ting, Tong
A Ling, Ting, Tong gotto sing that song called
A sa mok em boo di ay, I sa mok em boo

Chorus

And as I looked around
The lights were going down
And this is what I found
A back in China Town

A Ling, Ting, Tong, tried to sing that song called
I so mok em boo di ay, I so mok em boo

Ling, Ting, Tong, he would never be wrong
Go on and sing your song a Ling, Ting, Tong

A Ling, Ting, Tong tried to sing that song, called
I so mok em boo di ay, I so mok em boo

Chorus

    I always liked the song. It came out in 1955 when I was in 5th grade. It had a great beat and sound. The part about going to Chinatown seems to suggest they were looking for something to smoke. They then sing their " I can smoke em boo di ya" .....they were way ahead of their times. Wish we still had good sounds and music like they produced.
