We were EmShanghaied. Yes, me and him too And now we are CM7pulling our wood with the swarthiest crew. We’ve got the Dscurvy, the scabies, got that mad yellow fever I Cmoored in her dock and I swore I’d never leave her

Well I Emwonder which is more appealing The CM7sea with all her temper, or the city The Dcity with her hordes of outstretched hands Well to Cboth I raise my glass towards the ceiling
[Chorus]

GThis is how we do it in the ports o' call From C7Qingdao all the way to HongKong FThis one dedicated to the posers DWith their silk shirts and sob stories

Sometimes I feel like I was born to make the Emsame mistake a hundred times AnCM7d never learn my lesson I blameD it on the whisky, these hedonistic oriental climes CBut the truth is just too distressing yeah
[Verse] [Joel]
The Emhips shook, my pulse quickened I CM7tried to resist, as she pulled up tight ToDmorrow I’d be sorry, but tonight I was in delight if yoCu could’ve seen the way she beckoned
[Chorus]
GThis is how we do it here in Kyoto C7And this is the way we swings to Beijing ThFe Baltic Bards you know we ain’t 2 specific Dwetting our oars all across the Pacific
[Outro]
GThis is how we do it in the ports o' call C7From Qingdao all the way to HongKong FYou know will be rocking on and on DIn the land of the rising sun
