But don’t bet your mon-ey on de Shang-hai
I go to de fair to see de fun-ny fowls
De dou-ble head-ed pi-geon and de one eyed owls
De lame old goo-se wit no web be-tween his toes
He kills him-self a laugh-in’ when the Shang-hai crows
Chorus
De Shang-hai’s tall but his ap-pe-tite is small
He’ll on-ly swal-low eb-ry thing he can ov-er-haul
Four bags of wheat just as cer-tain as your born
A bush-el of po-ta-toes and a tub full of corn
Chorus
Take de lit-tle chick-en in de mid-dle of de ring
But don’t bet your mon-ey on de Shang-hai!
