Lyrics:
East Indian princess lives in a western dream Happy like a child, her mother is a queen You know she's safe as a cow on a Calcutta street This English way of life has got that other life beat And reading magazines, she sits in straight backed chairs She's got a common welfare, she's got a queen that cares She's got meat on her bones, she doesn't starve at least Not like the folks back home, not like the folks back east Yeah, but this Indian is English no matter how she tries You know the sari and the sandals, it's just a bad disguise She got a mark on her forehead, she got a stud in her nose Yeah, but this Indian is English and I'm afraid it shows 'Cause you can see her at Wimpey's and on a movie queue line Her river's not the Ganges, it is the serpentine East Indian princess, she got the western pain She got the western mind, that girl has gone insane
