East Indian Princess
Lyricist:Loudon Iii Wainwright
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
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
