Sambhar of 69

I had my first real six rupees,
stole it from my father's pants,
went to a madrasi hotel,
to eat the sambhar of 69.

Me and some kadke dost,
had it all and we caught bukhaar,
annie puked, mohit got ulcers,
and ganje ne maari dakaar.

Oh when I went back there now,
the food was as stale as ever,
and though it was 2008,
still the sambhar was being served over there,
that was the worst food of my life...

There's no use in complaining,
when you got no other place to eat,
rushed in the evening to the doctors clinic,
but he too was at the toilet seat, yeah..

Standing there waiting outside,
nurse told me I will wait forever,
oh and when I held my breath,
I knew that I had to use that loo there,
That was the worst food of my life..
Back to the sambhar of 69...

Man I was getting killed,
I was full and restless,
I needed to unwind,
I guess nothing can wait forever - FOREVER... NO!!!!

And now the dhabas are changing,
Look at everything that's come and gone,
sometimes when I think of those six rupees,
I think that I should have never stolen those...

Oh when I went back there now,
the food was as stale as ever,
and though it was 2008,
still the sambhar was being served over there,
that was the worst food of my life...
