[Verse 1]
Somebody called me on the phone
They said, "Hey, is Dee Dee home?
Do you wanna take a walk?
Do you wanna go and cop?
Do you wanna go and get some Chinese rocks?"
[Chorus]
I'm living on a Chinese rock

All my best things are in hock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
Everything is in the pawn shop
It is!

I'm living on a Chinese rock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
Hit it!
