Bombay meri hai Nostalgic stuff... quoted verbatim (almost) from Bombay... Meri Jaan. (http://www.fabmall.com/Stores/misc/frmMainFrame.asp?Files=FDL&catalogId=Books&ProductId=8129105160&ActualCatalog=Books)

While this song was first recorded in 1969, it still captures the spirit of Mumbai today. Similar to the Yeh hai Bambai mere bhai... dialogue from the 1955 movie Shree 420 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048613/combined


Bombay Meri Hai

Music: Mina Kava
Lyrics: Naju Kava
First recorded in 1969 by Uma Pocha and Chorus with Mina Kava and his Music Makers

Verse
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.

Chorus
Bom bom bom bom
Bombay meri hai
Born bom bom bom
Bombay meri hai

Our ladies are nice, they are so full of spice
Come to Bombay, come to Bombay Bombay meri hai.

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.

Verse
Puri bhaji, bhelpuri you can try and tell
Idli dosa, hot samosa you will like it well
Once you come to stay then you won't like to go away
Come to Bombay, come to Bombay Bombay meri hai.  ¶ 6:02 PM
