Childhood Rhymes

Today while playing patty cake with my niece I was trying to remember the words of an old favorite when I thought "HEY, why not use the wonder of GOOGLE." haha, well I searched "Chinese, Japanese, Indian Chief." because that was the only part of the rhyme I remembered. While reading the post some people said they used in their childhood I realized everyone sings it differently. While reading other versions I quickly remembered the version I used to play. Ironically this burst of childhood memories came to me on the last day of my juinor year. Which I can proudly say I did not shed a tear even though I was very much tempted too.

The song I grew up with.
"I went to the chinese resturant to buy a loaf of Bread Bread Bread
The waiter adked me what my name was and this is what I said said said
My name is L-I L-I chikali chikali pom pom beauty
seven cups of whiskey
punch 'em in the body, Oops Im sorry.
Never take karate
Chinese, Japanese, Indian Cheif."
Then you freeze.

I am very curious to know whats the version you used?
