The Lyrics
As usual i'd love to hear all your comments...
I remember years ago,
How I did admire you so,
Walking like a man,
Like you owned the place,
Stealing from the poor,
To feed your face.
People said that you were great,
Man upon I could relate,
Now I know the truth,
You're vulgar and uncouth,
I know the reason why,
You cheat and you lie, Oh Gandhi
[Chorus]
Well you came and you prayed for salvation,
And I loved you that way,
Oh Gandhi,
You tricked me and caused me frustration,
Can't you just go away, Oh Gandhi
People said that I was mad,
You were here and they were glad,
But how can I be calm?
When that man does so much harm,
How can they be so blind?
To the scourge of mankind.
[Chorus]
He's tricked you can't you see?
He's a man like no other,
Look what he did to me
He raped my Mother,
Oh Gandhi
[Chorus ×2]
How I did admire you so,
Walking like a man,
Like you owned the place,
Stealing from the poor,
To feed your face.
People said that you were great,
Man upon I could relate,
Now I know the truth,
You're vulgar and uncouth,
I know the reason why,
You cheat and you lie, Oh Gandhi
[Chorus]
Well you came and you prayed for salvation,
And I loved you that way,
Oh Gandhi,
You tricked me and caused me frustration,
Can't you just go away, Oh Gandhi
People said that I was mad,
You were here and they were glad,
But how can I be calm?
When that man does so much harm,
How can they be so blind?
To the scourge of mankind.
[Chorus]
He's tricked you can't you see?
He's a man like no other,
Look what he did to me
He raped my Mother,
Oh Gandhi
[Chorus ×2]

I'm not sure I followed the end part but the pacing was good - 534
I was with you until the coda...I like forwarding Barry Manilow parodies to my Mom, who is the biggest fan, but this one...nuh-uh...I ain't gonna show her this.
The only vaguely funny part was about Gandhi raping your mother.
