Bombay Meri Hai  

Vocals: Uma Pocha 
Lyrics:Naju Kava 
Music: Mina Kava  

Come from England, come from Scotland, come from Ireland 
Come from Holland, come from Poland, come from any land 
If you're looking out for a pleasant holiday 
Come to Bombay, come to Bombay, Bombay meri hai  

Hi, Bom Bom Bom Bom Bombay meri hai 
Hi, Bom Bom Bom Bom Bombay meri hai 
Our ladies are nice, they're so full of spice 
Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bombay hurray! 

Wear a dhoti, put a topi and a small coatie 
Mini or bikini is so good for you honey 
If you ain't so gay then you can live the sadhu way 
Come to Bombay, come to Bombay, Bombay meri hai  

Hi, Bom Bom Bom Bom Bombay meri hai 
Hi, Bom Bom Bom Bom Bombay meri hai 
Our ladies are nice, they're so full of spice 
Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bombay hurray!
   
Puri bhaji, bhelpuri you can try and tell 
Idli dosa, hot samosa you will like too well 
Once you come and stay then you won't like to go away 
Come to Bombay, come to Bombay, Bombay meri hai 

Hi, Bom Bom Bom Bom Bombay meri hai 
Hi, Bom Bom Bom Bom Bombay meri hai 
Our ladies are nice, they're so full of spice 
Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bombay hurray!
