	Spent some time feelin' 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
	But remember one thing don't lose your head
	to a woman that'll spend your bread'
	So I got out
	Paris was a place you could hide away
	if you felt you didn't fit in
	French police wouldn't give me no peace
	They claimed I was a nasty person
	Down along the Left Bank minding my own
	Was knocked down by a human stampede
	Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot
	when all I wanted was a cup of tea
	I was accused
	I moved on
	Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough
	of the things that keeps a young man alive
	My body stunk but I kept my funk
	at a time when I was right out of luck
	Getting desperate indeed I was
	Looking like a tourist attraction
	Oh my dear I better get out of here
	'for the Vatican don't give no sanction
	I wasn't ready for that, no no
	I moved right out east yeah!
	On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry
	sailing on my way back here
	I fell in love with a slit eyed lady
	by the light of an eastern moon
	Shangai Lil never used the pill
	She claimed that it just ain't natural
	She took me up on deck and bit my neck
	Oh people I was glad I found her
	Oh yeah I was glad I found her
	I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me
	I sincerely thought I was so complete
	Look how wrong you can be
	The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe
	They wouldn't give you the time of day
	But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet
	God I was glad I found her
	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
	You didn't have to come here anyway
	So remember, every picture tells a story don't it

	Spent some time feelin' 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
	But remember one thing don' t lose your head
	to a woman that' ll spend your bread'
