Move Over India Songtext
von Apache Indian

Well, this one dedicated to all the Indian raggamuffin posse
I said I love the raggamuffin style
But said dem cyan to understand the lyrics
So all the Bradford, Birmingham and Southall massive unnu tun good!
Because I know say the wild Indian come fe tear down the labour
I know say they call the wild Indian over India come fe make a movie
So with a brand new style come fe shake down the whole country
Oh Lord have mercy
Oh Jah save the day!


Mi say mi gone go make a movie, man, over India
Then a when mi catch a Indian airliner
Now the place a where mi land, a that a Amritsar
Say, who meet me? I know the Prime Minister
Say, who a rush mi baggage? No, a fiyah father
Say, who kiss me? Gandhi daughter
Now mi deh inna the country like a big movie star
Mi jump on a taxi, dem a call a rickshaw
Pass Bombay and a call Astana
Now the people meet me, they put their hands together
The woman in a sari, man in pajama
Say, when they meet me they say, "How get down?"
"Yaani, batte teeka"
And then the man who mi meet, I know the producer
Mi make one film with the one Amita
Mi make another one with the one Rekha
Say, who sing the song? Lata Mangesca
Say, who play the music? Ravi Shankar
Mi take it from the youth, a bare backrider
Mi chat up on the mic a like you could done never
So each and everyone, man, come follow me, man
Dip your knee, cock out your batty
The style a wha′ you do a know the Bhangra Jackee
B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-Bangra Jackee
Oh Jah save the day!
