Hanging from the trellis,
to the snake gourd they tie a stone—
that's what this town does!
Oh my, oh my, what a town this is!
Hey, to everything that hangs,
to every single gourd,
can you really tie a stone?
Sister, sister!
Chorus: Kiosk sister, kiosk sister!
All dressed up so pretty,
acting coy and giggling,
strutting with graceful flair,
sister, sister!
Chorus: Kiosk sister, kiosk sister!
Inside your kiosk shop,
there is a bent and dented tin box!
Sister, sister!
Chorus: Kiosk sister, kiosk sister!
Inside your kiosk shop,
there is a bent and dented tin box!
Sister, sister!
Kiosk sister, kiosk sister!
Male: Haan!
When women walk down the street,
just staring at their shadows,
this town picks a fight!
Oh my, oh my, what a town this is!
To all those shadows,
can you drape a sari
and make them dance?
Sister, sister!
Chorus: Kiosk sister, kiosk sister!
Inside your kiosk shop,
there is a bent and dented tin box!
Sister, sister!
Chorus: Kiosk sister, kiosk sister!
Male: Haan!
Inside your kiosk shop,
there is a bent and dented tin box!
Sister, sister!
Kiosk sister, kiosk sister!
Male: Hey sister!
Sister, sister!

Chorus: Sister!
If you plant poles,
set up a trellis, and grow a vine,
it gives so many vegetables
for people to eat!
It satisfies a poor man's hunger
and does good for him.
If you plant so many poles
and fly all kinds of party flags,
factions clash and riots break out
across the land!
Seeing that, fear and distress
enter every home!
Tell me, do we need that flag,
or do we need this vegetable vine?
Chorus: Sister, sister!
Kiosk sister, kiosk sister!
Male: Haan, inside your kiosk shop,
there is a twisted and dented tin box!
Chorus: Sister, sister!
Kiosk sister, kiosk sister!
Hanging from the trellis,
to the snake gourd they tie a stone—

Oh my, oh my, what a town this is!
