On the peking ferry I was feeling merry Sailing on my way back here I fell in love with a slit eyed lady By the light of an eastern moon Shangai lil never used the pill She claimed that it just aint natural She took me up on deck and bit my neck Oh people I was glad I found her Oh yeah I was glad I found her I firmly believe that I didnt need anyone but me I sincerely thought I was so complete Look how wrong you can be The women Ive known I wouldnt let tie my shoe They wouldnt give you the time of day But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet God I was glad I found her And if they had the words I could tell to you To help you on the way down the road I couldnt quote you no dickens, shelley or keats cause its all been said before Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off You didnt have to come here anyway E So remember, every picture tells a story dont it
