Ei Babli shon na Babli be my labhar Babli
Ei Babli oi oi Babli tell your phathar Babli
Fiddle uith my choshma Babli
Tickle my phat goph
Bhun day bhen youre legal Babli
Bhe two musht elope
Ei Babli shon na Babli be my labhar Babli
Ei Babli oi oi Babli tell your phathar Babli
Thish ij tha part bhere I do tha rap (ei!)
Though Poltu shaid my shong ij crap (ki re!)
But my labh ij shinsheer and shweet (hoi!)
Though it not Rabindrashongeet (ki na?)
(Rabindrasangeet interlude, with Shantiniketan dancers. Cannot reproduce for legal reasons. The song, that is, not me)
To get back to the point,
Ei Babli shon na Babli be my labhar Babli
Ei Babli oi oi Babli tell your phathar Babli
Aather men uill labh you Babli
But their labh is dhop
Plij come be my labhly Babli
Eat my mangshor chop
Ei Babli shon na Babli be my labhar Babli
Ei Babli oi oi Babli tell your phathar Babli
(repeat from start)

Posted by Gamesmaster G9 | April 22, 2005, 7:38 amBhery bhery gooood, nonsense parsen. The Robindroshongeet digression is the classic touch. Can’t wait to compose this latest masterpiece with soulful strains of Purano shei diner kotha thrown in. Fatafati hobe, mairi.
