Well, I was walking down the High Road
And this guy stops me
He'd just got in from New Zealand
And he was looking for mushy peas
I said, No
We haven't really got 'em 'round here
I said, But we do got

Verse 1
Balti, bhindi, strictly Hindi
Dal, halal and I'm walking down the road
We got rock sole, okra, Bombay dhokla
Shrimp beansprout, comes with it or without
With it or without
Bagels soft or simply harder
Exotic avocado or toxic empanada
We got ackee, lassi, Somali wacky baccy
I'm sure back home you know what tikka's all about
What tikka's all about

Chorus
Welcome, stranger
To the humble neighbourhoods
You can get inspiration along the High Road

Verse 2
Hummus, couscous in the jus of octopus
Pastrami and salami and lasagne on the go
Welcome, stranger, there's no danger
Welcome to this humble neighbourhood
Oh, there's balti, bhindi, strictly Hindi
Dal, halal and I'm walking down the road
Rock sole, okra, Bombay dhokla
Shrimp beansprout, comes with it or without

Interlude
So, anyway, I told him I was in a band
He said, Oh, yeah Oh, yeah
What's your music like
I said, It's um, um
Well, it's kind of like
You know, it's got a bit of, um, you know

Verse 3
Ragga, bhangra, two-step tanga
Mini-cab radio, music on the go
Um, surfbeat, backbeat, frontbeat, backseat
There's a bunch of players and they're really letting go
We got Brit pop, hip hop, rockabilly, Lindy hop
Gaelic heavy metal fans fighting in the road
Ah, Sunday boozers for chewing gum users
They got a crazy DJ and she's really letting go

Chorus
Oh, welcome, stranger
Welcome, stranger, to the humble neighbourhoods

Interlude
Well, I say, there's plenty of places to eat 'round here
He said, Oh, yeah I'm pretty choosy

Verse 4
You got balti, bhindi, strictly Hindi
Dal, halal, we're walking down the road
Rock sole, okra, Bombay dhokla
Shrimp beansprout, comes with it or without
Let's check it out

Chorus
Welcome, stranger
To the humble neighbourhoods, neighbourhoods
Check out all that
