Mah Jongg Lyrics

She got a third floor walk-up one block east of Chinatown

She walk 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

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

She know Mah-Jongg, Mah-Jongg she don't play

But she loves the player

With her dark eyes burning I am opening the wall (There may be no other chance)

I feel my fortunes turning and I wish for nothing else at all (Then 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 the Dragon tail into a pair a˛nd the game is over

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

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

Three floors up from where the lanterns light the parlors from the street

There awaits another world

And though there are not many times upon which she and I agree

We enjoy the difference

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
