The Shanghai Beauty, she dutifully danced for her country

From age nine till thirty-four, and the men all called her ‘Sir!’

The Shanghai Beauty, she’s such a cutie, albeit with a fierce mind

Now her spirit soars through the air like a bird without a care

But don’t dare ever think of messing with The Shanghai Beauty

She may be rare and sexy, but she can still give you a scare

Her name is Jin Xing and she can do anything she sets her mind to

The Shanghai Beauty, she can be charming, cool or disarming

She was once a colonel in the People’s Liberation Army

But now she leads the Personal Liberation Front

The long years of repressing her artistry in the military are done

Now she’s free at last to flaunt her panache and have some fun.
