A lovely day for cricket, blue skies and gentle breeze
The Indians are awaiting now, to play the West Indies
A signal from the umpire, the match is going to start
The cricketers come on the field, they all look very smart
Erapalli Prasanna, Jeejeebhoy and Wadekar
Krishnamurthy and Vishnoo Mankad
Them boys could real play cricket, on any kinda wicket
They make the West Indies team look so bad
We was in all kinda trouble, Joey Carew pull a muscle
Clive Lloyd get 'bout three run out, we was in trouble without a doubt
It was Gavaskar, de real master
Just like a wall, we couldn't out Gavaskar at all, not at all
You know the West Indies couldn't out Gavaskar at all
Ven-kat-a-ra-ghavan, Bedi, in a turban
Vijay Jaisimha, Jayantilal
They help to win the series, against the West Indies
At Sabina Park and Queen's Park Oval
A hundred and fifty-eight by Kanhai, really sent our hopes up high
Noriega nine for ninety-five, de Indian team they still survive
It was Gavaskar, de real master
Just like a wall, we couldn't out Gavaskar at all, not at all
You know the West Indies couldn't out Gavaskar at all
Govindraj and Durani, Solkar, Abid Ali, Dilip Sardesai and Viswanath
They make West Indies bowlers, look like second raters
When those fellas came out here to bat
West Indies tried Holder and Keith Boyce
They had no other choice, they even try with Uton Dowe
But ah sure that they sorry they bring him now!
It was Gavaskar, de real master
Just like a wall, we couldn't out Gavaskar at all, not at all
You know the West Indies couldn't out Gavaskar at all
Little Desmond Lewis, also Charlie Davis
Dey take a little shame from out we face
But Sobers as the captain, he want plenty coachin'
Before we cricket end up in a disgrace
Bedi hear that he became a father,
so he catch out Holford in the covers
But when Sobers hear he too had a son,
he make duck and went back in the pavilion
It was Gavaskar, de real master
Just like a wall, we couldn't out Gavaskar at all, not at all
You know the West Indies couldn't out Gavaskar at all
