Shanghaied

La la la la la la la la la. Shanghaied
La la la la la la la la la. Shanghaied
It was a cryptic conversation
Suddenly, I'm rolling in the dirt
I try and stumble down the passageway, my head thundering with hurt
And my condolence to your boyfriend, taken by this penny-ante scam
Pretty soon he will be leaving for where I am
La la la la la la la la la Shanghaied
It was an endless filibuster
Everything was said and nothing done
I left there confident in victory, counting out the arguments I'd won
I contemplate the unexpected, staring at my hands upon the oar
I guess it was my inclination to hope for more
La la la la la la la la la. Shanghaied
La la la la la la la la la. Shanghaied
