Huh!
Oh yeah
Mmm
Now listen here everybody
I was walking down the street the other day
Had my hands in my pockets just a-shufflin' away
I went down to the river
And that's the last thing that I can remember
And when I woke up in the morning
I couldn't see no land in sight
I was on a ship bound for China
After being hit in the head and kicked in the side
Ah Shanghai (Shanghai)
I was taken out to sea
Shanghai (Shanghai)
How could this happen to me?
I was standing up on top of the deck
Getting worried now about my predicament
Every time there's trouble
They stick you in the hole with the rats and the rubble
And then around about midnight
The dragon lady comes down the stairs
As she walks my way carrying whips and chains
It's the game she plays deriving pleasure from pain
Ah Shanghai (Shanghai)
How could this happen to me?
Shanghai (Shanghai)
She's going home to the Ming Dynasty
I'm struggling to survive
Oh, I've lost all track of time
The day is just turning to night
As you slowly start to lose your mind
ย
Oh, now that night you can hear men screaming
You can see the fear that's in their eyes
Well, there's no surprise that this crew ain't alive
It comes down to fate, I don't wanna be no shark bait
Shanghai (Shanghai)
How could this happen to me?
Shanghai (Shanghai)
I think I'll start a mutiny
Shanghai (Shanghai)
I feel like a chicken of the sea
Shanghai (Shanghai)
I wonder if they'll give me liberty
Shanghai
Yeah, I'm talking Shanghai, yeah
I've been to Shanghai, Shanghai, Shanghai
Been to Shanghai, I feel like I'm lost
I'm gonna start in a clip, I know it ain't hip
But I'm gonna jump over the side and take me a dip
I'm losing my mind, I've got to get out alive
I'm terrified, I'm terrified
Don't you touch me, you guys stay away from me
Boy, I tell ya, the only thing I like is Chinese food
But I'd never buy me some of this
I'm gonna buy me some liquor, do it anyway
