Now that you’ve found your paradise, This is your kingdom to command. You can go outside and polish your car Or sit by the fire in your Shngri-La. Here’s your reward for working so hard: Gone are the lavat’ries in the back yard; Gone are the days when you dreamed of that car. You just want to sit in your Shangri-La. Put on your slippers and sit by the fire – You’ve reached your top and you just can’t get any higher… You’re in your place and you know where you are. …in your Shangri-La. Sit back in your old rocking-chair. You need not worry – you need not care. You can’t go anywhere! Shangri-La-a-a-a-a! Shangri-La-a-a-a-a! Shangri-La-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a! The little man who gets the train got a mortgage hangin’ over his head… But he’s to scared to complain. …’cause he’s conditioned that way. Time goes by and he pays off his debt – got a T.V. set and a radio… For seven shillings a week. Shangri-La-a-a-a-a! Shangri-La-a-a-a-a! Shangri-La-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a! Shangri-La-a-a-a-a! Shangri-La-a-a-a-a! Shangri-La-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a!
And all the houses in the street have got a name ‘Cause all the houses in the street; they look the same: Same chimney puff; same little car; same window pane! The neighbors call to tell you things that you should know. They say their lines; they drink their tea; and then they go! They tell your business in another Shangri-La! The gas bills and the water rates, the payments on the car! Too scared to think about how insecure you are! Life ain’t so happy in your little Shangri-La! Oh, Shangri-La! Shangri-La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la; La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la; La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a… Put on your slippers and sit by the fire – You’ve reached your top and you just can’t get any higher… You’re in your place and you know where you are. …in your Shangri-La. Sit back in your old rocking-chair. You need not worry – you need not care. You can’t go anywhere! Shangri-La-a-a-a-a! Shangri-La-a-a-a-a! Shangri-La-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a! Shangri-La-a-a-a-a! Shangri-La-a-a-a-a! Shangri-La-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a!
