Shah Shah A Go Go

The Stranglers


Did you hear about the man 
Used to live out in Iran 
He was luxury's greatest fan 
People ate out of his hand 
People ate out of his hand 

Shah shah a go go 
Shah shah a go go 
Shah shah a go go 
Shah shah a go go 

Sold the English all their oil 
Made the people work the soil 
Thought his kind had got it made 
But his kind just had to pay to fade 
But his kind just had to fade 

Shah shah a go go 
Shah shah a go go 
Shah shah a go go 
Shah shah a go go 

Then a priest in Paris France 
Made the people get up and da da dance 
Sold cassettes for 60p. 
Said he'd set the people free 
We shall see we shall see 

Shah shah a go go 
Shah shah a go go 
Shah shah a go go 
Shah shah a go go 

Shah shah a go go 
Shah shah a go go 
Shah shah a go go 
Shah shah a go go 
Shah shah a go go 
Shah shah a go go
