Stray dogs in the airport bark
Tail curled up like a question mark
And all the people scatter
Rats in the gutter scare Sarala
Ta ta le le
Ta ta le le
Ta ta le le

Sarala holds her daddy's hand
Sarala meets her daddy's land
Sarala, Sarala

Rickshaw wallah begs the question
Are all those red lights just suggestions
Oh, it's gonna be OK
They know dead men can't pay
Sarala
Ta ta le le
Ta ta le le
Ta ta le le

Jesus found your grandfather there
I heard him say, 'These cows aren't sacred
They're just in the way!'
And he was beat down
On this street you're walking now
North Carolina will never be the same
For the girl with her grandmother's name
Ta ta le le
Ta ta le le
Ta ta le le
