Joe Strummer - Bhindi Bhagee lyrics

Well, I was walking down the High Road 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 duck-ra Shrimp beansprout, comes with it or without - with it or without Bagels soft or simply harder Exotic avocado or toxic empenada We got akee, la**i, 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 neighbourhoods You can get inspiration along the high road 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 neighbourhood There's Balti, Bhindi, strictly Hindi Dall, Halal and I'm walking down the road Rocksoul, okra, bombay duck-ra 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?"

Ragga, Bhangra, two-step Tanga Mini-cab 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 neighbourhoods 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 duck-ra Shrimp beansprout, comes with it or without Let's check it out Welcome stranger to the humble neighbourhoods, neighbourhoods Check out all that Por-do-sol, por-do-sol Walking down the high road
