Now that you've found your paradise, this is your kingdom to come on.
You can go outside and polish your car, or sit by the fire in your Shangri-La.
Here's your reward for working so hard. Gone are the lavatories in the backyard.
Gone are the days when you dreamed of that car. You just want to sit in your Shangri-La.
Put on your slippers and sit by the fire. You've reached your top and you just can't get any higher.
You're in your place and you know where you are in your Shangri-La.
Sit back in your old rocking chair. You need not worry, you need not care. You can't go anywhere.
Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La.
The little man who gets the train, got a mortgage hanging over his head.
But he's too scared to complain, cos he's conditioned that way.
Time goes by and he pays off his debts. Got a TV set and a radio for seven shillings a week.
Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La.
Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La.
And all the houses in the street have got a name. Cos all the houses in the street, they look the same.
Same chimney pot, same little car, same window paint.
The neighbours call to tell you things that you should know. They say they're lads, they drink their tea and then they go.
They tell you business in and out of Shangri-La, Shangri-La.
Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La.
Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La.
You're in your place and you know where you are, in your Shangri-La.
Sit back in your old rocking chair, you need not worry, you need not care.
You can't go anywhere.
Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La.
Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La.
