(Two, two-two, three)
Spent some time feeling inferior
Standing in front of my mirror
Combed my hair in a thousand ways
But it came out looking just the same
Daddy said, "Son, you better see the world
I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
Just remember one thing, don't lose your head
To a woman that'll spend your bread"
I got out
Paris was a place you could hide away
If you felt you didn't fit in
The French police wouldn't give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the left bank, minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot
When all I wanted was a cup of tea
I was accused, I was abused, oh yeah
On the Peeking ferry, I was feelin' merry
Sailing on my way back here
I fell in love with a slit-eyed lady
Lord, I was glad I found her
Shanghai pill, never used the pill
She claimed that it just ain't natural
Took me up on deck and bit my neck
Oh people, I was glad I found her, yeah whoa
Ooh, yeah!
I firmly believed that I
Didn't need anybody but me
I sincerely thought I was so complete
But look how wrong you can be
Make the best out of the bad joke, man, laugh it off
You didn't need to come here anyway
