Lulu is a traditional African American tune. lulu
So now I’m gonna do what white folks do best and STEAL IT. To write about a different minority (your mileage may vary) member.
I’ll sing of Chang Apana / who inspired Charlie Chan
He once took out his old bullwhip/and arrested 40 men x 2
He had a wife in China / in Honolulu too
But he supported both of them / as the honest thing to do x 2
(alternate verse –
Young wife in Honolulu / China wife was old
But he supported both of them / cause that was how he rolled x 2)
He never learned to read or write / but he was a mighty gent
And the only thing that could take him down / was an auto accident x 2
Houseboy and a cowboy / and a policeman too
I’m telling you there wasn’t much / Apana couldn’t do x 2
His loyalty a legend / and when he came to die
A woman that he once had served / was sitting by his side x 2
Hard and fierce and upright / he feared not work or pain
You know that we will never, ever/see his like again x 2
