Hindoo Man Lyrics
Hindoo Man - George Formby
Over there in india a hindoo resides
Smoking his hookah all day
Opium and bits of rope and fag ends besides
A wise man from the east whitechapel way
He's got a lovely palace on the beach
He's the hindoo howdoo hoodoo yoodoo man
He's got twelve bedrooms with eight wives in each
He's the hindoo howdoo hoodoo yoodoo man
He's got one wife who wears a veil
It covers half her face
From her nose right to her toes
You'll see nothing else but space
Shell dance and waggle her san fairy ann
For the hindoo howdoo hoodoo yoodoo man
He practices his magic in the eastern bazaar
Slave girls come under his spell
When he puts on the fluence
They don't know where they are
He does indian tricks and dirty tricks as well
Now what he fancies always does him good
He's the hindoo howdoo hoodoo yoodoo man
He lives on rice roast beef and yorkshire pud
He's the hindoo howdoo hoodoo yoodoo man
He wears a dishcloth round his waist
His favourite wife called nellie
Said you'd look well if the darned thing fell
You'd have nowt to cover your
He said who cares I could always wear a fan
I'm a hindoo howdoo hoodoo yoodoo man
He looks just like a nabob of renown
He's the hindoo howdoo hoodoo yoodoo man
A nabob two bob three bob half a crown
He's a hindoo howdoo hoodoo yoodoo man
A princess brought him jewels and said
For all your love I yearn
But jewels could not compare with what
He went and gave her in return
He's ninety nine but he does all he can
For a hindoo howdoo hoodoo yoodoo man
