lyrics
(dha dhin dhin dha) (a rickshaw bell) Monsoon drummed the tin roof loud You out-sang the entire cloud A rickshaw sailed us through the flood You paid in laughter — he understood (arre wah!) All roads bend toward your door (your door, your door) Like they never bent before Marigold, marigold You turn my grey to gold Marigold, marigold String me to your door (gold... gold...) Your grandmother inspected me Three cups of chai, one full degree She asked my salary and my sign Then smiled and poured a fourth cup — fine (pass!) When the city kills the lights (power cut!) Your window is my satellite (shining, shining) Marigold, marigold You turn my grey to gold Marigold, marigold String me to your door (gold... gold...) (dha dhin dhin dha...) (marigold...)
