The Rutles - Shangri-La lyrics

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'dya do?" In Shangri-la Everyday'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!) In Shangri-la (in Shangri-la!) You can be whoever you are In Shangri-la (Roll up! Roll up! This way! ) 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) In Shangri-la (In Shangri-la!) You can be whoever you are In Shangri-la ha ha ha In Shangri-la (in Shangri-la) In Shangri-la (in Shangri-la!) You can be whoever you are In Shangri-la ahahahahhhhhhh All together now, one two three...
