Lyrics — “Shanghai Sweetheart” by @germancowboy

I came across the ocean with a suitcase and a smile, Thought I'd see old Shanghai, maybe linger for a while, Then beneath the lantern glow I saw a girl go by, And suddenly the brightest thing was not the Shanghai sky! She had laughter in her eyes and a flower in her hair, When she turned and smiled at me, I nearly missed the stair! Now the band can play till morning and the whole town dance away, I've found myself a sweetheart down in Shanghai! Oh, my Shanghai sweetheart, won't you Charleston close to me? Kick your heels and swing your arms as happy as can be! When the trumpet goes wah-wah and the banjo starts to play, I lose my heart all over again in Shanghai! Oh, my Shanghai sweetheart, you're the rhythm in my feet, Every little step beside you makes the whole wide world seem sweet! Let the river roll beneath us, let the night turn into day, I'm dancing with my darling down in Shanghai! She knows a little café where the piano never stops, Where the drummer rattles woodblocks and the old cornetist pops, We squeeze between the tables while the dancers shout for more, Then Charleston like two firecrackers flying 'cross the floor! She says, “Girl, you're much too reckless!” I say, “Darling, that's quite true!” “But if Shanghai keeps on spinning, I intend to spin with you!” So pull that cloche down crooked, let me steal another glance, There's nothing in this great big world like my baby's Charleston dance! Oh, my Shanghai sweetheart, won't you Charleston close to me? Kick your heels and swing your arms as happy as can be! When the trumpet goes wah-wah and the banjo starts to play, I lose my heart all over again in Shanghai! Oh, my Shanghai sweetheart, you're the rhythm in my feet, Every little step beside you makes the whole wide world seem sweet! Let the river roll beneath us, let the night turn into day, I'm dancing with my darling down in Shanghai! Maybe someday I'll go sailing, Maybe someday she'll come too, But tonight I don't want Paris, I don't want old Timbuktu! Give me Shanghai after midnight, Give me music bright and gay, Give me one more dance beside her And I'll never sail away! She's my Shanghai sweetheart, and she's Charleston-crazy too, When she kicks that heel behind her, honey, what am I to do? I can cross a dozen oceans, but my heart knows where to stay— Right beside my lovely lady down in Shanghai! Oh, my Shanghai sweetheart, let the whole brass section roar! Play it hotter, play it faster, let 'em shake that dancing floor! When she takes my hand and whispers, “Won't you dance once more my way?” I'll Charleston with my sweetheart— All night in Shanghai!
