Here in Shanghai You can love, you can dance, you can cry Here in Shanghai In a dream with the world passing by Oriental ladies look at me Oriental ladies sigh High in Shanghai And I don?t have the time to ask why Chorus (2x): High in Shanghai And I don?t have the time to ask why You in Shanghai Walk around with a star in your eyes Free in Shanghai You can laugh, you can dance, you can fly Oriental feelings in your mind Oriental way to sigh High in Shanghai And you don?t have the time to ask why Chorus (4x) Here in Shanghai You can love, you can dance, you can cry Here in Shanghai In a dream with the world passing by Oriental ladies look at me Oriental ladies sigh High in Shanghai And I don?t have the time to ask why Chorus (5x & fade)
