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 do you do" in Shangri-La
Every day's a perfect day
And you can go your own sweet way in Shangri-LaIn Shangri-La, in Shangri-La
You can be whoever you are in Shangri-LaInvestment 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 aheadAll 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-LaIt'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 learnAll 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-LaIn 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-LaAll together now, one two threeLah dee doo dah, lah dee dah
Here we are in Shangri-La
Lah dee doo dah, lah dee dah
Here we are in Shangri-LaLah dee doo dah, lah dee dah
Here we are in Shangri-La
Lah dee doo dah, lah dee dah
Here we are in Shangri-LaLah dee doo dah, lah dee dah
Here we are in Shangri-La
Lah dee doo dah, lah dee dah
Here we are in Shangri-La

Throughout the 1950s and early-1960s, Jackie Gleason enjoyed a secondary music career, lending his name to a series of best-selling mood music albums with jazz overtones for Capitol. Gleason felt there was a ready market for romantic instrumentals. He recalled seeing Clark Gable play love scenes in movies, and the romance was, in his words, "magnified a thousand percent" by background music. Gleason reasoned, "If Gable needs music, a guy in Brooklyn must be desperate!"
