The mariner feels such a booby
Though darn it, he's really no newbie
But his sweet Shanghai blossom
Proves a cheat, far from awesome
Sheer blarney, unreal, a fake Ruby.
David Cairns
Sailor James Cagney romances prostitute "Shanghai Lil", played by all-American Ruby Keeler: Footlight Parade (Lloyd Bacon, Busby Berkeley; 1933). Title by discombobulated Donald B. Benson.
