 A silver-studded rim that glistens 
 Fmaj7                  G 
 And an ankle-star that blinds me 
            Fmaj7       
And a lemon sole so very high 
           G 
Which only reminds me to tell you 
F              C 
Break the news gently 
F                     C 
Break the news to him gently  

Bengali, Bengali 
It's the touchy march of time that binds you 
Don't blame me 
Don't hate me 
Just because I'm the one to tell you 

That life is hard enough when you belong here 
That life is hard enough when you belong here 
Oh... 
Shelve your Western plans 
Oh... 
Shelve your Western plans 
'Cause life is hard enough when you belong 
Life is hard enough when you belong here 
Oh... 
Shelve your Western plans 
Oh... 
Shelve your best friends 
'Cause life is hard when you belong here
