Shanghai'd In Shanghai

Standin' on the corner in downtown L.A.

Waitin' on the man to come along

She comes up to me and says, "Too bad, too sad"

You know that he's been gone

L.A. lady, kinda shady, she picked him up and took him home

I woke up groggy, my sight was smoggy

And I knew that it had been blown

Early in the mornin', sittin' in a hotel

Moscow's lookin' fine through the wine

Spaced out, I crashed out, the KGB came on my line

It's a cold one, bein' sent down, it's gotta be fifty below

Mama, here's a postcard to let you know

I'm in a salt mine, I'm lookin' for coal

Shanghai'd in Shanghai, stood on in Tucson

Ripped off and kicked right out the bed

Flyin' 'cross the desert from Texas to Tucson

But we're headed for a southern star

The captain says it's fine in Havana

This dude behind me needs a cigar

He's a big one, he's got a big gun, I guess we better go along

Mister, we've got a gig in Arizona, second billin' to the Rolling Stones

Shanghai'd in Shanghai, stood on in Tucson

Ripped off and kicked right out the bed

Shanghai'd in Shanghai, laid low in 'Frisco

Done in and left behind for dead

Shanghai'd in Shanghai (Shanghai'd in Shanghai)

Shanghai'd in Shanghai (Shanghai'd in Shanghai) Woo

Shanghai'd in Shanghai (Shanghai'd in Shanghai)

Shanghai'd in Shanghai (Shanghai'd in Shanghai) Woo

Shanghai'd in Shanghai (Shanghai'd in Shanghai)
