Shanghai

SHANGHAI
(Bob Hilliard / Milton DeLugg)

Why did I tell you I was going to Shanghai
I want to be with you tonight
Why did I holler I was going to Shanghai
I want to be with you tonight
It was just a little misunderstanding
that a kiss on the cheek could patch
I need you so badly
I’d gladly
start all over from scratch
Oh, why did I tell you it was bye-bye for Shanghai
I’m even allergic to rice
Why don’t you stop me when I talk about Shanghai
It’s just a lover’s device
Who’s gonna kiss me
Who’s gonna thrill me
Who’s gonna hold me tight
I’m right around the corner in a phone booth
and I want to be with you tonight

Why did I tell you I was going to Shanghai
I want to be with you tonight
Why on earth did I holler I was going to Shanghai
I want to be with you tonight
It was just a little misunderstanding
that a kiss on the cheek could patch
I need you so badly
I’d gladly
start all over from scratch
Oh, why did I tell you it was bye-bye for Shanghai
I’m even allergic to rice
Why don’t you stop me when I talk about Shanghai
It’s just a lover’s device
Who’s gonna kiss me
Who’s gonna thrill me
Who’s gonna hold me tight
I’m right around the corner in a phone booth
and I want to be with you tonight
