Ah love me Indian Wedding, with the Dulaha Dulhin

It’s the world’s greatest show, under the Maro

Verse #1:

Jook down the Bamboo & plant the Sucker Tree

Walk ‘round the Village & tell everybody

Me go dance the Tassa & have fun for sure

When Friday come, Me go dance the Maticore

Rub up de Dye an’ make de Lawa

Take me to the Bariat & to de Bandara

Me go eat the Katahar, the Baigan & Bhaji

Don’t cry Mommy Daddy, let’s be merry

Time to be hopeful, courageous & happy

Don’t think Mother Father, you’re losing your Daughter

Think of it as gaining, a brand new Son-In-law

Verse #4:

 Mommy she crying for she Dulahin

Dulha want to leave soon for the Honeymoon

You promise to love her, until you die

Make sure she’s happy, don’t you make her cry
