Hey, just how did you hit him?
I really couldn't tell!
You grabbed him somewhere,
and I couldn't figure out the trick!
Even catching hold of you like this,
I can't seem to tie you down!
The runaround I gave your own dad
hasn't slowed down one bit!
When a guy with a King Kong body
came straight at you,
you wobbled and danced all over,
and I got so scared, Madhu!
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
When a guy with a King Kong body
came straight at you,
you wobbled and danced all over,
and I got so scared, Madhu!
I come from the Sarpatta boxing clan!
Who can ever be a match for me?
If I land one hard blow, no one can take it!

The runaround I gave your own dad
hasn't slowed down one bit!
Turn around a bit, Myna,
and snap out of your daze!
Your dad is coming to attack,
jumping right in the middle!

Almonds and pistachios...
shall I mix them in milk for you, or
from the dog biscuits,
shall I give you four?
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
Almonds and pistachios...
shall I mix them in milk for you, or
from the dog biscuits,
shall I give you four?
Bring the cow right here,
and I will milk it and drink it myself!
I will put a wedding garland on you, flatter you,
and settle our story once and for all!
