bombs away, but we're okay

My best friend in college was the son of a Congress Party Official from New Delhi. His favorite band was the police. We used to dance around in our dorm rooms to a number of songs. "Bombs Away in Old Bombay" was one of his favorites.

The general scratches his belly and thinks
His pay is good but his officers stink
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet
The president looks in the mirror and speaks
His shirts are clean but his country reeks
Unpaid bills, in afghanistan hills

Bombs away
But were o.k.
Bombs away
In old bombay

The general only wants to teach france to dance
His army life doesnt give him any romance
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet
The general scratches his belly and thinks
His pay is good but his company stinks
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet

Bombs away
But were o.k.
Bombs away
In old bombay
Bombs away
But were o.k.
Bombs away
In old bombay
Bombs away
But were o.k.
Bombs away
In old bombay
Bombs away
But were o.k.
Bombs away
In old bombay

Bombay changed it's name to Mumbai in 1997.
