Shanghai 1951 Doris Day

Why did I tell you
I was going to Shanghai
I wanna be with you tonight,
Why did I holler
I was going to Shanghai
I wanna be with you tonight,
It was just a little misunderstanding
that a kiss on the cheek could patch.
I need you so badly
I'd gladly start all over from scratch!
Oh, why did I tell you
it was "ByeBye" for Shanghai
I'm ever allergic to rice.
Why don't you stop me
when I talk about Shanghai
It's just a lover's device,
who's gonna kiss me
who's gonna thrill me
who's gonna hold me tight?
I'm right around the corner
in a phone booth
and I wanna be with you tonight.

Why did I tell you
I was going to Shanghai
I wanna be with you tonight,
Why did I holler
I was going to Shanghai
I wanna be with you tonight,
It was just a little misunderstanding
that a kiss on the cheek could patch.
I need you so badly
I'd gladly start all over from scratch!
Oh, why did I tell you
it was "ByeBye" for Shanghai
I'm ever allergic to rice.
Why don't you stop me
when I talk about Shanghai
It's just a lover's device,
who's gonna kiss me
who's gonna thrill me
who's gonna hold me tight?
I'm right around the corner
in a phone booth
and I wanna be with you tonight.

My wild imagination
gives me so much aggravation.
Now I know I sounded foolish
when I made my exit bow,
and if I wasn't sorry then,
I'm more than sorry now.

Why did I tell you
I was going to Shanghai
I wanna be with you tonight,
Why did I holler
I was going to Shanghai
I wanna be with you tonight,
It was just a little misunderstanding
that a kiss on the cheek could patch.
I need you so badly
I'd gladly start all over from scratch!
Oh, why did I tell you
it was "ByeBye" for Shanghai
I'm ever allergic to rice.
Why don't you stop me
when I talk about Shanghai
It's just a lover's device,
who's gonna kiss me
who's gonna thrill me
who's gonna hold me tight?
I'm right around the corner
in a phone booth and,
Oh how I wanna be with you tonight.
