My white ambassador
A homage to Sarwan Kumar and his trusty White Ambassador (in the style of a fifties American road song...)
with a long, atmospheric intro before it gets started....
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2005
Now you may go for chrome like the US of A
Or for the fancy fins on a fifties Chevrolet
But I like things curvaceous in the Indian Style
And there’s one beats them all by a mile
You won’t find a better car… than my white ambassador
It has its beauty, it has its graces
It has curves in all the right places
It’s well upholstered its got comfortable seats
With AC it’s just a treat…
No you won’t find a better car… than my white ambassador
Break:
I wanna take it back to London, park it in my street
Drive round in style like, one of the elite
I’ll be sitting in the back seat with my driver in the front
The cockneys will all say ‘look at that flash Barclay Hunt!’
Now driving is a hazard you can come to harm
Bumping down the dusty roads in Rajasthan
But Mr Kumar is a wizard, Kumar is the king
You should see him drive watch him do his thing
He’ll be dodging all the camels, dodging all the trucks
Dodging all the buffalo, with a bit of luck
Dodging all the women carrying water on their heads
Dodging all the oxcarts, loaded up with beds
Dodging all the cattle with their sacred hides
Dodging all the guys with turbans three foot wide
Dodging all the goatherds, dodging all the pigs
Dodging all the Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs
Reprise break
Yes you can keep your stretch limos for gaylords and popstars Keep your BMWs for hoodlums and drug tzars You’ll never find a better car… than my white ambassador There’s just one makes me cry for more…that’s my white ambassador
