she got 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 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 Jong
Mah Jong she don't play
She know Mah Jong
Waste your life away
She know Mah Jong
Mah Jong she don't play
But she loves the player
With the dark eyes burning
I am opening the wall
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
Understanding well
I turn a dragon tail into a pair
And the game is over
She know Mah Jong
Mah Jong she don't play
She know Mah Jong
Waste your life away
She know Mah Jong
Mah Jong she don't play
Though I don't obey her
Still she loves the player
She know Mah Jong
Mah Jong she don't play
She know Mah Jong
Waste your life away
She know Mah Jong
Mah Jong 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 on the street
There awaits another world
And though there are not many things
Upon which she and I agree
We enjoy the difference
She know Mah Jong
Mah Jong she don't play
She know Mah Jong
Waste your life away
She know Mah Jong
Mah Jong she don't play
Though I don't obey her
Still she loves the player
She know Mah Jong
Mah Jong she don't play
She know Mah Jong
Waste your life away
She know Mah Jong
Mah Jong she don't play
Though I don't obey her
Still she loves the player
She know Mah Jong
Mah Jong she don't play
She know Mah Jong
Waste your life away
She know Mah Jong
Mah Jong she don't play
Though I don't obey her
Still she loves the player
She know Mah Jong
Mah Jong she don't play
She know Mah Jong
Waste your life away
She know Mah Jong
Mah Jong she don't play
Though I don't obey her
Still she loves the player
She know Mah Jong
Mah Jong she don't play
