[Verse 1]
And the major took an arrow
Like the captain went to harrow
So we thought he knew the answer
But he didn't see the letter
And the ladies of the mission
Were preserving ammunition
But it didn't seem to matter
As the gate began to shatter

[Chorus]
Hey Rajah, hey Rajah, hey Rajah
Did you come to rescue me?
Hey Rajah, hey Rajah, hey Rajah
Will you never set me free?

[Verse 2]
So he took me back to Delhi
With a diamond in my bеlly
I was never one for lacеs
Or a day out at the races
I don't miss the British weather
Or the rain or my umbrella
Please don't think of me as callous
'Cause I'm living in a palace

[Chorus]
Hey Rajah, hey Rajah, hey Rajah
Did you come to rescue me?
Hey Rajah, hey Rajah, hey Rajah
Will you never set me free?

[Bridge]
Ganges ([?])
Rupees (I float away)
Living (through eastern eyes)
[?] ([?])
Hey Rajah, hey Rajah

[Chorus]
Hey Rajah, hey Rajah, hey Rajah
Did you come to rescue me? ([?])
Hey Rajah, hey Rajah, hey Rajah
Will you never set me free?

[Interlude]
Life is charming (life is charming)
And so demanding (and so demanding)
[?]

[Verse 3]
Now I'm sick to death of curry (sick to death of curry)
And [?] a worry (such a worry)
And the Taj Mahal is boring (so boring)
Oh, I'd rather be in Goring (on-Thames, you know?)
And the heat is so abrasive (it's sticking to my clothes)
He's becoming so possessive (oh darling)
How I'd rather be with mother
Even with my younger brother
Hey Rajah, Rajah

[Outro]
Hey Rajah, hey Rajah, hey Rajah
Did you come to rescue me?
(And the major took an arrow)
(Like the captain went to harrow)
Hey Rajah, hey Rajah, hey Rajah
Will you never set me free?
(So he took me back to Delhi)
(With a diamond in my belly)
Hey Rajah, hey Rajah, hey Rajah
Did you come to rescue me?
(Now I'm sick to death of curry)
(And [?] a worry)
Hey Rajah, hey Rajah, hey Rajah
Will you never set me free?
(So we thought he knew the answer)
(But he didn't see the letter)
Hey Rajah, hey Rajah, hey Rajah
Did you come to rescue me?
