Pretty Fly for a Laowai I – Jason

by Jason Lasky

I’m the laowai supreme,
I’m a supersized dream.
I’m the epic playa,
I’m the workin’ acta’,
I’ve got a pen and a pad
And the mind to drive you mad.
I’m pretty fly for a laowai-
2010 Shanghai.

The neon lights,
The drugs delight,
The drinks are cheap
Facebook is BLEEEEEEEP.
Firey episodic lust
Pass me that New York Style Pizza crust.
It’s Sunday brunch,
I’ve got a hunch
That I’ll stick around
On this Chinese merry-go-round
Because I’m pretty fly for a laowai-
2010 Shanghai.

Gimme a stage,
This is my age
I’ve got nothin’ to lose
Walking in these custom-made shoes.
I’m pretty fly for a laowai-
2010 Shanghai.
