Lyrics
Spent some time feeling inferior Standing in front of my mirror Combed my hair in a thousand ways But I came out looking just the same Daddy said, son, you better see the world I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave Just remember one thing, don't lose your head To a woman that'll spend your bread I got out ♪ Paris was a place you could hide away If you felt you didn't fit in The French police wouldn't give me no peace They claimed I was a nasty person Down along the Left Bank, minding my own Was assaulted for birthing a riot Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot When all I wanted was a cup of tea I was accused ♪ Peeking ferry, I was feelin merry Sailing on my way back here I fell in love with a slit-eyed lady Lord I was glad I found her Shanghai Lil never used the pill She claimed that it just ain't natural She took me up on deck and bit my neck Lord I was glad I found her, yeah ♪ Wait a minute And if they had the words I could tell to you To help you on the way down the road I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats 'Cause it's all been said before Make the best out of the bad, just laugh it off, ha You didn't have to come here anyway Just remember, every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it
