hong kong blues
[verse]
now here’s the story of a very unfortunate memphis man
who got arrested down in old hong kong
he got twenty years privilege taken away from him
when he kicked old buddha’s gong
and now he’s pounding up piano just to raise the price
of a ticket to the land of the free
well, he says his home’s in frisco, that’s where they send the rice
but it’s really in tennessee
that’s why he said
[bridge]
(but i need somebody) i need somebody to love me
(i need somebody to care) i need somebody to carry me home to san francisco
and bury my body there
(i need somebody to love me) i need somebody to lend me
a fifty~dollar bill and then
i’ll leave hong kong far behind me
(i need somebody to love me) for happiness once again (once again)
won’t somebody believe
(i’ve a yen) i’ve a yen to see that bay again
but when i try (but when i try to leave)
sweet opium man won’t let me fly away
i just can’t shake this hong kong
(but i need somebody) i need somebody to love me
(i need somebody to care) i need somebody to carry me home to san francisco
and bury my body there
[refrain]

that was the story of a very unfortunate piano playin’ cat
(from memphis) who got arrested down in old hong kong
(he got arrested) he got twenty years privilege (privilege)
taken away from him
(he got arrested) when he kicked old buddha’s gong
now he’s playing the piano, just to raise the price
of a ticket to the land of the free
well, he says his home’s in frisco where they send the rice
but it’s really in tennessee
(this cat’s from memphis)
he keeps playing, the piano
just to raise the bread he needs to split
but he keeps playing the piano (yeah)
and singing his little song
since he kicked old buddha’s gong
[outro]

of a ticket to the land of the free
