The Lyrics

ghandi...ghandi
sad you had to go now
what a super hindu
all your civil life
no violence had occurred
a quaint resisting style
uh...huh...they bowed to...

ghandi...ghandi
barely weighing eighty
clothing, nothing fancy
skinny little arms
but met, were your demands
as you bent them to your will
uh-huh...so long to...

ghandi...ghandi
sadly, you are done for
wife was left a widow
but back in your day
you started in bombay
to london, moved away
uh-huh...you vegan...

ghandi...ghandi......GHANDI !

ghandi...you know you were too good to last
and ghandi...your poor old body's turned to ash
many loved you...while other people put you down
you were old and gray
and not so healthy, it was said
at a meeting out in delhi
in a crowd, you were shot dead, oh...

ghandi...ghandi
life you had to give up
sad to see you go now
but always you will be
a big part of history
cause you really showed the way
hey ghandi
you're alright
you're alright
you're alright

Maybe every world leader should study his philosophy. Then the world would be a better place.

Nice, alvin :) Add to that, there's something about HH tunes that make them very parody-able !
