Did you ever get the feeling

that the truth is less revealing

than a downright lie?

And did you think your head was hip

to certain things it's not equipped

to qualify?



All day long the sky is blue

and everyone says "how do you do"

in Shangri-La

Every day's a perfect day

and you can go your own sweet way

in Shangri-La



In Shangri-La...

In Shangri-La...

You can be whoever you are

In Shangri-La



Investment with a good return

provides the means through which we earn

our daily bread

Insisting on an equal cut

some people even bust a gut

to stay ahead



All day long the sky is blue

and no one has a lot to do

in Shangri-La



In Shangri-La...

In Shangri-La...

You can be whoever you are

In Shangri-La



It's a strange world we live in

but surely we're forgiven

if we don't know where to turn

With paradise for hire

on the back streets of desire

we all live and learn



All day long the sky is blue

and everyone's in love with you

in Shangri-La

Lovers dance and children sing

and everybody does their thing

in Shangri-La



In Shangri-La...

In Shangri-La...

You can be whoever you are

In Shangri-La-hah-hah-hah

In Shangri-La...

In Shangri-La...

You can be whoever you are

In Shangri-La

All together now...

1... 2... 3...

Here we are
