Brian May - China Belle

[Luca Canetti]

There's a little lady living down in old Beijing
She got everything you need well you know what I mean
No it ain't what you're thinking she ain't love for sale
She'll get you jumping just for fun but there's a sting in her tale
She's a lover she's a fighter she's a red hot bit
You take her as you find her but you never can quit
She's a pretty little lady called China Belle
She's a little bit o'Heaven and a whole lotta hell

She gotta bad reputation but you won't say no
You gotta need her sweet loving when yo go go go
She gotta diamond on her finger you can see it glisten
She gotta plenty conversation (don't talk just listen)
She could be flat bad faking but you never can tell
Got the body of an angel but you know darn well
She's a pretty little lady called China Belle
She's a little bit o'Heaven and a whole lotta hell

I was standing at the station at the neck of Siam
I met a man from Abu Dhabi said 'you know who I am'
They call me Hard Nosed Harry who could never get hooked
But I fell in love with trouble after just one look
She'll give you dirty honey loving make you feel real sweLL
And if you say you wanna stay she ain't that kinda gel
I said you're talking 'bout a lady that I know darn well
She's a little bit o'Heaven and a - whole lotta hell -

She'll take you Nee-How walking to a chinese ball
You'll be singing and a-dancing underneath the Great Wall
But when you're strolling in the rain through Tianamen Square
You turn around and look for China and she ain't nowhere
She's a dangerous habit she's a red hot hit
You could get a better rabbit but you just can't quit
She's a pretty little little lady
She's a pretty little little lady
She's a pretty little little lady called China Belle
She's a little bit o'Heaven and a - whole lotta hell.
