Bilingual
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
ย
We don't really got 'em 'round here"
I said, "But we do got"
Balti, bhindi, strictly Hindi
Daal, halal and I'm walking down the road
We got roxo, lakka, Bombay, dhakra
Shrimpy, sprout, comes with it or without
With it or without
Bagel, soft or simply hard
Exotic avocado, raw toxic and banana
We got ackee, lassi, Somali, wacky, backy
I'm sure back home you know what tikka's all about
What tikka's all about
Welcome stranger
ย
To the humble neighbourhoods
You can get inspiration along the high road
Hummus, couscous, indij is a bucka
Put some salami and salami and my family on the go
Welcome stranger, there's no danger
Welcome to this humble neighbourhood
ย
Oh, there's balti, bhindi, strictly Hindi
Daal, halal and I'm walking down the road
Roxo, lakka, Bombay, dhakra
Shrimpy, sprout, comes with it or without
ย
So anyway, I told him I was in a band
ย
He said, "Oh yeah? Oh yeah?
What's your music like?"
ย
I said, "It's um
Oh, well, it's kinda like
You know, it's got a bit of, uh, you know"
Ragga, bhangra, two-step, tango
Mini-cab, radio, music on the go
Surf beat, back beat, front beat, back seat
There's a bunch of players and they really let go
We got hip hop, hiphop, rockabilly, lindy hop
Jelly, heavy metal fans fighting in the road
Oh, Sunday hoosers, chewing gum users
They got a crazy DJ and he's really let go
Oh, welcome stranger
ย
Welcome stranger
To the humble neighbourhoods
ย
Well, I said, "There's plenty of places to eat down here"
He said, "Oh yeah
And where's the cheese eatin'?"
We do got
Balti, bhindi, strictly Hindi
Daal, halal, we're walking down the road
ย
Roxo, lakka, Bombay, dhakra
Shrimpy, sprout, comes with it or without
Just check it out
Welcome stranger
ย
To the humble neighbourhoods, neighbourhoods
Check out all that
