  • 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... Writer/s: HANS GREINER, WALTER WIDEMAIR
