The Lyrics

i play concert halls
and they're jumping and screaming
but my sitar makes them weep
i'm widely adored
cause my guitar is steaming
but my sitar makes them weep

i don't know why
it never bowled you
its hard to tune, its true
i was taught how
by some old guru
i never sold you

i played for the world
but my fans started turning
cause my sitar makes them weep
sure, i make mistakes
i'm a bit slow at learning
so my sitar makes them weep

i don't know how
that's pretty certain
folks been deserting , too
they had a cow
their chains, i'm jerking
their ears were hurting, too

i play the guitar
and the sound's grand and sweeping
but my sitar makes them weep
look at them bawl
how my sitar makes them weep

Alvin, you could get two for the price of one and double the subtext if if you could reduce "hammer dulcimer" to two syllables.

George (and Brian Jones, I would assume) would be proud. 555

I've got my fives set on you. Yes, I think George, at least in his later years, when he was through being stuffy, would have enjoyed this.

I was once in a band with a guy that played sitar....once you've heard "Brown Sugar" played badly on a sitar, you really appreciate not living in India! 555

Speaking as an American of Polish descent, I can tell Kristof that it could be worse. Someone once defined "gentleman" as "a man who can play the accordion -- but doesn't."
