Five paise, ten paise...
A young girl wearing a bindi...
Has she come, has she come?
A young girl here to pick a fight...
Five paise, ten paise...
A young girl wearing a bindi...
Has she come, has she come?
A young girl here to pick a fight...
Master Plan Mallika!
Look at her eyes, round like gooseberries!
Master Plan Mallika!
Look at her eyes, round like gooseberries!
Five paise, ten paise...
A young girl wearing a bindi...
Has she come, has she come?
A young girl here to pick a fight...
Right in front of all the folks watching,
Right in the middle of the street,
Reeling from the slap I gave you,
You are storming off, sweet songbird!
Has your pride still not gone down?
Has your anger still not cooled?
Looking down on the poor,
Where did you get such nerve?
Cheeks glowing like gold and soft as a flower,
Chorus: Hey hey!
Male: They swell if even lightly tapped or touched!
Chorus: Hey hey!
Male: Without someone like me to kiss and adore them,
Chorus: Hey hey!
Male: They yearn each and every day!
Chorus: Hey hey!
Whatever you might need,
Chorus: Hey hey!
Male: Just come and ask me!
Chorus: Hey hey!
Listen girl, I am
A man of true strength!
Master Plan Mallika!
Look at her eyes, round like gooseberries!
Five paise, ten paise...
A young girl wearing a bindi...
Has she come, has she come?
A young girl here to pick a fight...
Master Plan Mallika!
Look at her eyes, round like gooseberries!
Master Plan Mallika!
Look at her eyes, round like gooseberries!
Five paise, ten paise...
Paying a price to bring on trouble
From all over town is your habit!
Facing any trouble head-on
And chasing it away is my habit!
Why this arrogance of money, girl?
Why this crazy hotheaded pride?
Thinking everything will go your way,
What kind of foolish schemes are in your head?
Don't mess with me, woman!
Chorus: Hey hey!
Male: What will happen if I land a couple of punches?
Chorus: Hey hey!
Male: If you try acting smart with me,
Chorus: Hey hey!
Male: Won't your honor blow away in the wind?
Chorus: Hey hey!
Stop bouncing around and stay still,
Chorus: Hey hey!
Male: Or your teeth will be smashed to bits!
Chorus: Hey hey!
Look at this man,
And beg for his forgiveness!
Master Plan Mallika!
Look at her eyes, round like gooseberries!
Five paise, ten paise...
A young girl wearing a bindi...
Has she come, has she come?
A young girl here to pick a fight...
Master Plan Mallika!
Look at her eyes, round like gooseberries!
Master Plan Mallika!
Look at her eyes, round like gooseberries!
Five paise, ten paise...
A young girl wearing a bindi...
Has she come, has she come?
