I had a dream I was Shanghai'd
Made me feel so high
Won't you come and take me away
Please try! So I can say someone tried

I'm so weary of this loneliness
Drowning in the tears I've cried
The thunder rolls
It's raining cats and dogs inside

Wrap me up in your soft arms
Take me among your fleet of ships
Seduce me with your softly moving hips
Plant your passioned kiss upon my lips

Make me drunk with the love you give
Take me back to your hive
Promise me you'll love me always
and make me feel alive

Take me to your foreign harbor
and we'll look upon the moonlit sky
I don't mind being your captive
if it's love I see glistening in your eye

I had a dream I was Shanghai'd
Made me feel so high
Won't you come and take me away
Please try! So I can say someone tried.
