The Greatest Performer


Come gather round him everyone
Saints and sinners,
Losers and winners,
Sisters and brothers,
Forget all others.

Come gather round him folks
Highwaymen and sailors,
Prisoners and jailors,
Noblmen and commoners,
Forget all others.

Come gather round him people
Spies undercover,
Newlywed lovers,
Scholars really clever,
Forget all others.

For you’re gonna see tricks that will make your heart stop
You’re gonna see wonders that will make your jaw drop.
His tricks will leave you gaping,his act will blow your mind
An evergreen showman like him-You know you’ll never  find

:) Loved it. Haven't read Phatik Chand but Satyajit Ray is surely one of the most talented cultural people of the world indeed.
