The song "Chinatown" by Jackyl tells the story of a group of people exploring the streets of Chinatown in Boston. They come across various unusual and outlandish characters and situations. The lyrics mention a Big Orange, which could be a reference to a large vehicle, possibly a tour bus, arriving in Chinatown. The group is curious about the local scene and wants to see what is happening. As they walk through the streets, they come across an adult entertainment store ("rated X") that catches their attention. However, the focus of the song shifts to a woman and a donkey named Rex. The exact nature of their relationship is left to interpretation. In the chorus, the narrator expresses a desire to leave Chinatown. They are uncomfortable with what they have seen or experienced and want to be removed from the situation. The song then describes a man dressed in women's clothing, acting in a rude manner. He apparently didn't realize how he looked when naked. The group finds amusement in this, and the man is left embarrassed when his wig is rolled up in a car window, leaving him standing. The second chorus reiterates the narrator's desire to leave Chinatown due to their dissatisfaction with the events unfolding. In the final lines, the narrator emphasizes that they have seen bigger and better towns than Chinatown, and they won't miss it. They express a willingness to leave everything behind, except for their troubles, symbolically represented by their "ass to kiss." Overall, the song seems to convey a sense of disillusionment and a desire to escape from an uncomfortable and strange environment. The lyrics may also hint at the narrator's dissatisfaction with the adult and unconventional aspects of Chinatown that they encountered during their visit.
