Just couldn’t resist putting this on ……<\/p>\n

I had my first real six rupees,<\/span>
\nStole it from my father’s pants.<\/span>
\nwent to a madrasi hotel,<\/span>
\nto eat the sambhar of 69.<\/span>
\nMe and some kadke dost,<\/span><\/p>\n

had it all and we caught bukhaar,<\/span>
\njimy puked, joey got ulcers,<\/span>
\nand Bagga ne maari dakar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh when I went back there now,<\/span>
\nthe food was as stale as ever,<\/span>
\nand though it was 1999,<\/span>
\nstill the sambhar was being served over there,<\/span><\/p>\n

that was the worst food of my life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therez no use in complaining,<\/span>
\nwhen you got no other place to eat,<\/span>
\nrushed in the evening to the doctors clinic,<\/span>
\nbut he too was at the toilet seat, yeah<\/span><\/p>\n

standing there waiting outside,<\/span>
\nnurse told me I will wait forever,<\/span>
\noh and when I held my breath,<\/span>
\nI knew that I had to use that loo there<\/span>
\nThat was the worst food of my life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back to the sambhar of 69.<\/span><\/p>\n

Man I was getting killed,<\/span>
\nI was full and restless,<\/span>
\nI needed to unwind,<\/span>
\nI guess nothing can wait forever – FOREVER… NO!!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

And now the dhabas are changing,<\/span>
\nnew dishes have come and gone,<\/span>
\nsometimes when I pass that old madrasi lane,<\/span>
\nI still smell it, I can’t be wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Standing in those unwashed clothes,<\/span>
\nthe waiters still call me in there,<\/span>
\noh the way my nostrils burn,<\/span>
\nI know that it will be served forever,<\/span>
\nwhat was the worst food of my life.<\/span><\/p>\n

yeah it was the sambhar of 69,<\/span><\/p>\n

the sambhar, the sambhar, the sambhar of 69<\/span><\/p>\n
