La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la SHANGHAIED!

Verse

It was a cryptic conversation.

Suddenly, I'm rolling in the dirt.

I try and stumble down the passageway, my head thundering with hurt.

And my condolence to your boyfriend, taken by this penny-ante scam.

Pretty soon he will be leaving for where I am.

Chorus

x2

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la SHANGHAIED!

Verse

It was an endless filibuster.

Everything was said and nothing done.

I left there confident in victory, counting out the arguments I'd won.

I contemplate the unexpected,

staring at my hands upon the oar.

I guess it was my inclination to hope for more.

Interlude

Ooooohhhhhh

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la SHANGHAIED!

And...SCENE.
