The dogs of Mumbai
are out at night
The song of India
clear and bright
Shades of brown
wander the streets
Kings in the dark
each has their beat
The dogs of Mumbai
friends to the poor
In the cold they give warmth
on the slums earthen floor
Street smart and clever
but not without heart
In the circle of life
they play their part
The dogs of Mumbai
Fight to survive
Food from the garbage
keeps them alive
Seasoned by time
ancient breeds never die
A legend each one
The dogs of Mumbai
