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

but Yeah 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

she got the western princess she got the western pain

She got the western mind that girl has gone insane
