All the hindus know the score

If you do not take the vow
You can eat the sacred cow
Youll get karma anyhow

Bow down mister
Hare rama, hare krishna
Bow down mister
We say radha syam

Do the right thing with your hands
Lay down on the pleasing sands
Whatever else your faith demands
Hare, hare, hare

Bow down mister
Hare rama, hare krishna
Bow down mister

They put kun in their hair
At the westemers they stare

Paint a tilak on your brow
Open like a lotus flower
Its time to check your karma now
Hare, hare, hare
