Vini Reilly - Bengali in Platforms lyrics

Bengali, Bengali Bengali, Bengali No no no He does not want to depress you Oh no no no no no He only wants to impress you Oh... Bengali in platforms He only wants to embrace your culture And to be your friend forever Forever Bengali, Bengali Bengali, Bengali Oh, shelve your Western plans And understand Cause life is hard enough when you belong here A silver-studded rim that glistens And an ankle-star that blinds me A lemon sole so very high Which only reminds me—to tell you Break the news gently Break the news to him gently "Shelve your plans, shelve your plans, shelve them" Bengali, Bengali It's the touchy march of time that binds you Don't blame me Don't hate me Just because I'm the one to tell you That life is hard enough when you belong here That life is hard enough when you belong here Oh... Shelve your Western plans Oh... Shelve your Western plans Cause life is hard enough when you belong Life is hard enough when you belong here Oh... Shelve your Western plans Oh... Shelve your best friends Cause life is hard when you belong here Oh... Life is hard enough when you belong
