Ah, Bhavagan Das Singing

 

Ah, Bhavagan Das Singing.

Bhavagan Das gets in and out of taxis with his giant body carrying a tiny baby

Bhavagan Das sits on floors to sing, closes his eyes and groans to God for hours!

Bhavagan Das says Tah Dah Nah into the microphone hole talking Gandarva loka babytalk

Bhavagan Das sings the blues in Yogic Sanskrit like a perfect Virgin

Bhavagan Das sat on the street with beggars in Allahabad and Almora weeping Raaam! half a decade crying all alone

Bhavagan Das kisses the feet of his teachers and wanders around the planet like a big yellow robed dope

If I thought I had nothing better to do I'd follow Bhavagan Das around the equator singing Bloop Bloop Bloop Bom Shankar untiI I had something better to do

Bhavagan Das never had anything better to do than call up Mystic Mama on the Mantric Telephone

Bhavagan Das does nothing better than sit on the ground and close his eyes and sing to his Guru

Bhavagan Das is my mother that's why I kiss Bhavagan Das' feet singing Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah !
