The Ballad of Gongti Beilu
Standing in the heat at Sanlitun,
Trying to get to "Tree" for a beer.
The man with the socks said, "You need pair of black sir?".
You know I didn't even give him a glance.
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're going to barbeque me.
Finally made the cab go to Gongti,
Tailgating all down the lane.
The Boss called to say,
"If you do it O.K.,
We can get contracts in
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're going to barbecue me.
Made a lightning trip down to Guomao,
Eating hot pot down by the rink
The waiters all said, "It’s pork, and it’s dead
But looks just like real beef with a drink ".
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're going to barbecue me.
Cabbed from Chaoyang to the
Covering my eyes all the way
The check-ins just said, “Did you pack this yourself?”
I said, "’I'm only trying to get on my way".
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're going to barbecue me.
Caught that early plane back to Schipol.
Forty thousand feet in the air
The cabin crew staff said,, "On economy fare,
With some luck you’ll see your luggage again".
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're going to barbecue me.

I decided to log on to see what you've been up to. It seems as if you're certainly making a go of it there. Good for you.
Will we ever see one another again? Will you ever come back for a visit to London? Oh dear.. and now is that ever beloved Wrangling Wrinkley doing?
I just saw the WW again, and have posted. DO stay in touch. Really.
