Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Bhindi Bhagee lyrics

Your rating:

And this guy stops me

He'd just got in from New Zealand

And he was looking for mushy peas

I said, no, we hadn't really got 'em round here

I said, but we do got



Balti, Bhindi, strictly Hindi

Dall, Halal and I'm walking down the road

We got rocksoul, okra, bombay duckra

Shrimp beansprout, comes with it or without  with it or without

Bagels soft or simply harder

Exotic avocado or toxic empenada

We got akee, lassi, Somali waccy baccy

I'm sure back home you know what tikka's all about  what tikka's all about



Welcome stranger to the humble neighborhoods

You can get inspiration along the highroad



Hommus, cous cous in the jus of octopus

Pastrami and salami and lasagne on the go

Welcome stranger, there's no danger

Welcome to this humble neighborhood



There's Balti, Bhindi, strictly Hindi

Dall, Halal and I'm walking down the road

Rocksoul, okra, bombay duckra

Shrimp beansprout, comes with it or without



So anyway, I told him I was in a band

He said, "Oh yeah, oh yeah  what's your music like?"

I said, "It's um, um, well, it's kinda like

You know, it's got a bit of, um, you know."



Ragga, Bhangra, twostep Tanga

Minicab radio, music on the go

Um, surfbeat, backbeat, frontbeat, backseat

There's a bunch of players and they're really letting go

We got, Brit pop, hip hop, rockabilly, Lindy hop

Gaelic heavy metal fans fighting in the road

Ah, Sunday boozers for chewing gum users

They got a crazy D.J. and she's really letting go



Oh, welcome stranger

Welcome stranger to the humble neighborhoods



Well, I say, there's plenty of places to eat round here

He say, "Oh yeah, I'm pretty choosy."



You got

Balti, Bhindi, strictly Hindi

Dall, Halal, walking down the road

Rocksoul, okra, bombay duckra

Shrimp beansprout, comes with it or without

Let's check it out



Welcome stranger to the humble neighborhoods, neighborhoods

Check out all that



Pordasol, pordasol

Walking down the highroad
