Vagrants, begone, pretenders arrive,
Vagrants, oh, they come!
Boasting loud, yet begging to survive,
Boasting loud, their hunger to numb.
In gatherings now, the vagrants convene,
Oh, they come, the vagrants convene!

Their homes are barren, a promise undone,
Yet strutting forth, beneath the sun.
Their homes are empty, a desolate plea,
Yet swaggering grand, for all to see.
Cigarette packs, with beedis they fill,
Oh, darling, the vagrants, they thrill!
Oh, darling, the vagrants arrive,
Vagrants, vagrants, they strive, oh, oh, darling.

In coffee shops, their time they expend,
No foreign tea, their thirst to transcend.
In coffee shops, a fleeting delight,
No fine tea they sip, in fading light.
Tomorrow, perhaps, a fortune they'll claim,
This dream they hold, this burning flame.
Hindi they speak, yet English they sing,
The vagrants arrive, their joy to bring!
Vagrants, vagrants, a chorus untold.

Come on, baby, give me a chance,
Let's dance, a romance, a joyous trance.
Come on, baby, offer your hand,
Let's sway and twirl, across the land.

They dine in shacks, their hunger to ease,
With five-star burps, their spirits appease.
They dine in shacks, their hunger to sate,
With five-star belches, sealing their fate.
Dashing and bold, from markets they steal,
Seeking cheap liquor, their wounds to heal.
With cast-off treasures, their lives they sustain,
The vagrants arrive, again and again!
Vagrants, vagrants, their stories remain.
