Kanhai drinking white-rum

Verse 1
Sobers hits the ball, bhai
Sobers hits the ball, brother
Straight into Bedi's hand
Straight into Bedi’s hand
Bedi shouts "How's that"
Bedi shouts “How’s that”
The umpire shook his hand
The umpire shook his hand (not out)
Bedi calls to the skipper
Bedi calls to the skipper (Sobers)
"Come on, you should go"
“Come on, you should go”
The skipper said, "Bowl bhai
The skipper said, “Bowl, brother
You be me, then you'll know"
You be me, then you’ll know”
Verse 2
They're bowling to the Indians
They’re (W.I.) bowling to the Indians
It's five for seventy-five
It’s five for seventy-five
Sobers laughed, "Ha, ha"
Sobers laughed, “Ha, ha”
He said, "This test is mine"
He said, “This test is (now) mine”
Wadekar told Solkar
Wadekar told Solkar
"Beta, just hold your end"
“Son, just hold your end (keep your wicket)”
"Sardesai will beat them
“Sardesai will beat them (the W.I.)
Till the game will bend"
Till the game will bend”
Verse 3
When they went to Barbados
When they went to Barbados
Dowe was bowling faas
(Uton) Dowe was bowling fast
Dowe bounced to Gavaskar
Dowe bounced to Gavaskar
Another six, alas!
(Who hit him for a six) — another six, alas!
Sobers nearly cried, bhai
Sobers nearly cried, brother
To see his side get lick
To see his side get licked
You'd better take a rest, bhai
You’d better take a rest, brother
Before you get sick
Before you get sick
Verse 4
The great Indian bowler
The great Indian bowler
Syed Abid Ali

He showed all the people

That he could rally

He bowled Morris Foster

When he was ninety-nine
When he was ninety-nine
He returned the Indians
He returned the Indians
Right back in the line
Right back in the line
Verse 5
When these great cricketers
When these great cricketers
Went back to their lands
Went back to their lands
I and my darling
I and my darling
Went and shook their hands
Went and shook their hands
Some people asked the reason
Some people asked the reason
They said, "You don't know the man"
They said, “You don’t know the man”
But these guys defeated
But these guys defeated
The mighty West Indians
The mighty West Indians
And the bowling averages
And the bowling averages
Went on to Venkataraghavan
Went on to Venkataraghavan
