The Queen of Chinatown

The Queen of Chinatown

The Queen of Chinatown is a song about an elderly Irish lady living in Ottawa on Somerset Street near the Chinese Royal Arch/Gateway. Her name is a tongue-in-cheek nickname affectionally given her by the residents of Ottawa’s Chinatown.

This was done fairly quickly, requiring a single image that captured the mood and some content as presented in the song. We then place the lyrics in the layout and scrolled them over the image.
