Came in from Thirteenth Street
Taken from an old backdrop
Seamstress put it on Mahaprabhu’s chest
Made his kirta look the best
He first wore it on a Gaura Purnima
Oldest of all but in a new dress
Just how much we are blessed
To the oldest of but in a new dress
Long mum leis tickle their toes
Chasing out our woes
Srimati Gandharvika and Giridhari combine
So Mahaprabhu is always on our minds
Round about the research park out to the main street
Wharf road leads on along the rodeo creek
Pedalers out to beat the fog
Get back before any smog
Has time to set in
A guitar man’s navapatra show is about to begin
Talking with friends goes on outside
He doesn’t even break stride
One asks direction
In a quite inflection
Murkha and I answer then depart
I to the shop and he to serve the lord of everyone’s heart
Bowing to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa keeping the view
Kalarupa is now following him what’s left to do
Welcomed by the quail
Who congregate on the back trail
