Did you ever get the feeling
|
That the truth is less revealing
|
Than a downright lie?
|
And did you think your head was hip
|
To certain things it’s not equipped
|
To qualify?
|
All day long the sky is blue
|
And everyone says «How'dya do?»
|
In Shangri-la
|
Everyday’s a perfect day
|
And you can go your own sweet way in
|
Shangri-la
|
In Shangri-la, in Shangri-la
|
You can be whoever you are
|
In Shangri-la
|
Investment with a good return
|
Provides the means through which we earn
|
Our daily bread
|
Insisting on an equal cut
|
Some people even bust a gut
|
To stay ahead
|
All day long the sky is blue
|
And no one has a lot to do
|
In Shangri-la
|
In Shangri-la (in Shangri-la!)
|
In Shangri-la (in Shangri-la!)
|
You can be whoever you are
|
In Shangri-la
|
(Roll up! Roll up! This way!)
|
It’s a strange world we live in
|
But surely we’re forgiven
|
If we don’t know where to turn
|
With paradise for hire
|
On the back streets of desire
|
We all live and learn
|
All day long the sky is blue
|
And everyone’s in love with you
|
In Shangri-la
|
Lovers dance and children sing
|
And everybody does their thing in
|
Shangri-la
|
In Shangri-la (in Shangri-la)
|
In Shangri-la (In Shangri-la!)
|
You can be whoever you are
|
In Shangri-la ha ha ha
|
In Shangri-la (in Shangri-la)
|
In Shangri-la (in Shangri-la!)
|
You can be whoever you are
|
In Shangri-la ahahahahhhhhhh
