Shanghai'd In Shanghai |
| Standing on a corner in downtown L.A. |
| Waiting for the man to come along |
| She comes up to me and says «too bad, too sad» |
| You know that he’s been dead and 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 morning sitting in a hotel |
| Moscow’s looking fine through the wine |
| Spaced out I crashed out |
| When the K.G.B. |
| came on the 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 saltmine and looking for coal |
| Shanghai’d in Shanghai |
| Stood on in Tuscon |
| Ripped off and kicked right out the bed |
| Flyin' across the desert from Texas to Tuscon |
| 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 billing to the Rolling Stones |
| Shanghai’d in Shanghai |
| Stood on in Tuscon |
| Ripped off and kicked right out the bed |
| Shanghai’d in Shanghai |
| Laid low in 'Frisco |
| Done in and left behind for dead |
