Fun scene
04-03 19:33
Rush:
When the town is fast asleep, and it’s midnight in the sky
That’s the time the festive chink starts to wink his other eye
Starts to wink his dreamy eye, lazily you’ll hear him sigh
Strangers taking in the sights, pigtails flying here and there
See that broken wall street sport, still thinks he’s a millionaire
Still thinks he’s a millionaire, pipe dreams banish every care
Chinatown, my Chinatown
Where the lights are low
Hearts that know no other land
Drifting to and fro
Dreamy dreamy Chinatown
Almond eyes of brown
Hearts seems light and life seems bright
In dreamy Chinatown
(Thank you again, GS…)

Father Knickerbocker – Father Knickerbocker became a symbol for New York City in the early 1800s following the publication of Washington Irving’s satirical “History of New York,” which Irving attributed to “Diedrich Knickerbocker.” A round, 17th-century Dutch character, Father Knickerbocker reminded New Yorkers of their Colonial past. Wearing knickers, buckled shoes, and a white beard, Father Knickerbocker has been illustrated and depicted in many ways, often symbolizing changes in the city’s politics. The image of Father Knickerbocker, a reminder of old New York, was prevalent until the 1950s when the modern city had securely taken hold. The name survives today, in abbreviated form, in the name of the New York Knickerbockers (“Knicks”) basketball team.
Charlie Chan: “Most happy to have placed new broom in hands of Father Knickerbocker.”
