Bombay Calling

She said: "Calling collect
Will you accept all charges"
I said: "Why don't you connect
I haven't got much of a choice"
Santa Cruz airport
Oh please hold the line
I suddenly heard his voice

He said: "I'm feeling OK
Flew in tonight from Karachi"
But when are you coming back home
You've got to get your priorities right
Or better get off that phone

Don't hang up, it's Bombay calling
Just reporting to the West
Don't hang up, it's Bombay calling
Gimme one more chance
To come home at last

I said: "I'm not in the mood
For one of your infamous stories"
Hold on, I want you to choose
What on earth are you trying to find
Tomorrow it's Vegas and next week Shanghai
I tell you, make up your mind

He came from Bagdad to New Delhi
Always on the run
From Marrakesh to Bangladesh
His journey's just begun

Take a ride on the river
Take a look in the Taj Mahal
Let the heat make you shiver
Till you've seen it all
