^BSpent some time feelin' infe^Arior ^BStandin' in front of my mirror Combed my hair in a thousand ^Aways But I came ^Bout lookin' just the same Daddy said "Son you better see the ^Aworld ^{G# A}I wouldn't ^Bblame you if you wanted to leave But remember one thing don't lose your ^Ahead To a ^Bwoman that'll spend your bread" ^BSo I got out

^BParis was a place you could hide a^Away ^BIf you thought you didn't fit in French police wouldn't give me no ^Apeace Just ^Bclaimed I was a nasty person Down along the Left Bank, minding my ^Aown Was knocked ^Bdown by a human stampede Got arrested for inciting a peaceful ^Ariot When all I ^Bwanted was a cup of tea ^BI was accused

^BDown in Rome I wasn't getting e^Anough Of the ^Bthings that keep a young man alive My body stunk but I kept my ^Afunk^{G# A}at a ^Btime ^BWhen I was right outta luck Getting desperate, indeed I ^Awas ^BLooking like a tourist attraction Oh my dear, I better get out of ^Ahere For the ^BVatican don't give no sanction ^BI wasn't ready for that, no, no

^BOn the Peeking ferry, I was feelin ^Amerry ^BSailing on my way back here I fell in love with a slit-eyed ^Alady ^{G# A}By the ^Blight of an eastern moon Shanghai Lil never used the ^Apill She ^Bclaimed that it just ain't natural She took me up on deck and bit my ^Aneck ^{G# B}People, I was glad I found her ^BOh, yes, so glad

^B Wait a minute

^BWell, I firmly be^Alieved that I ^{G# A}Didn't ^Bneed anyone but me I sincerely thought I was so com^Aplete ^BLook how wrong you can be The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my ^Ashoe They wouldn't ^Bgive you the time of day But the slit-eyed lady knocked me off my ^Afeet ^BGod, I was glad I found her And if they had the words I could tell to yo^Au To ^Bhelp you on the way down the road I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or ^AKeats 'Cause it's ^Ball been said before Make the best out of the bad, just laugh it ^Aoff, ha You didn't ^Bhave to come here anyway ^BSo remember, every picture tells a story, don't it
