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 gotBalti, Bhindi, strictly Hindi
Dall, Halal and I'm walking down the road
We got rock soul, 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, lassi, Somali waccy baccy
I'm sure back home you know what tikka's all about

I said, "It's um, um, well, it's kinda like
You know, it's got a bit of, um, you know."Ragga, Bhangra, two-step Tanga
