The
The phone rings, excited he picks up
His boss announces him that it's finally happening
He will be expatriated to Shanghai,
10,000 km from here
They will start a new life, his family and him
Pam and the kids arrive in the empire of the middle
Lodged in a beautiful villa,
a luxurious neighborhood
Then they work
24 hours a day
He takes planes, if you knew how he has fun
Welcomed like a prince wherever he goes
In two weeks he understood that the future is here
For madam too it's not bad,
she has 1000m2 to live
And three housewives,
so she really didn't raise her pinky
And it's true that she doesn't know what
to do since her husband is not really there
She doesn't speak English, even less Chinese
She feels lonely so from time to time she gets drunk
With her expatriate friends like her for years
She goes to massage clubs,
unfortunately,
we are two distinguished women
She understood that here men have fun and that time goes fast
She doesn't know how to apprehend the Asian charm
So she sighs and thinks about her future Entering France
anonymously or being a spy in China and being served
In Shanghai,
yeah,
it's the same as Shanghai It's the same as Shanghai,
yeah,
it's the same as Shanghai
The young man is in class,
since he goes out every night
He takes martinis and complains that he is the fall of the Chinese
Thirsty for glory,
she dreams of being in the arms of a pure Frenchman
The young man knows China,
he believes he knows everything
Since he frequents the clubs,
the lounges and the bars
In his jet he is expatriated,
in a Shanghai he electrifies
He lives his life, the one he had dreamed of
He speaks English, he forgot French
He is a doctor now and doesn't even do it on purpose
He takes drinks,
ah,
no,
he can't finish Shanghai makes him so happy
In Shanghai,
yeah,
it's the same as Shanghai It's the same as Shanghai,
yeah,
it's the same as Shanghai
