We heard RD Burman and we heard Asha
On an Indian record player, that old Indian record player
We heard Chalte Chalte from gold Pakeezah
On that Indian record player
that old Indian record player, yeah yeah yeah

It had a grille on the front and the dials were red
And I bought if from a guy who said
Mohammed Rafi was the man

We spun the great Naushad and Queen Mangeshkar
On an Indian record player
that old Indian record player yeah yeah yeah

To the harem sound we played ‘Umrao Jaan'
And we watched Rekha dance on a makeshift screen
In a Bollywood dream …

Well I'd heard of those picture houses in Old Calcutta
But I never knew the feeling could be so true
No I never knew that the feeling was true

No I never knew the feeling was true
till that Indian Record player
That old Indian Record player
That old Indian Record player yeah yeah yeah

Indian record player, old Indian Record player
Indian Record player, old Indian Record player
Indian Record player, old Indian Record player
Indian Record player, old Indian Record player
Record player!
