The Jingle Jangle Of Indian Me

THE JINGLE - JANGLE OF INDIAN ME

It's the jingle of bells that I hear in my ears

It's the jangling of bangles that I so often hear

They sing me a song that dwells in my heart

They sing me a song, in which my soul takes part

I am Indian born and bred

I am Indian no matter where I tread

I am Indian in things big and small

I am Indian always in my thoughts

I like bangles and I love gold

I am Indian so very much in my soul

I put on eye-make-up and colour my lips

And think of perfume, is there any I miss?

I am warm and thoughtful

And in turn kind and cold

But whatever I am and whatever I do

I'm typically Indian don't you know?

I put on ornaments and I dance in my mind

I've music worth listening, and rhymes to write

I listen to the radio and what's on the charts

But my soul sings I'm Indian, as does my heart
