Shangri-la Lyrics - Singles - The Rutles

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... 

Lah-dee-doo-dah 

Lah-dee-dah 

Here we are 

In Shangri-La...
