The whole town is laughing, oh man!
The whole town is laughing, oh man!
The whole town is laughing, oh man!
We have to buy a milk feeding bottle again!
One more baby is on the way, what a mess!
Johny Johny, Yes Papa,
A brand new baby now, Papa,
Eating raw mangoes? No, Papa!
The whole town is laughing, oh man!
Johny Johny, Yes Papa,
A brand new baby now, Papa,
Eating raw mangoes? No, Papa!
The whole town is laughing, oh man!
The whole town is laughing, oh man!
The whole town is laughing, oh man!
The whole town is laughing, oh man!
We have to buy a milk feeding bottle again!
One more baby is on the way, what a mess!
Baby, baby, baby, oh!
Oho, our daddy!
Come on out, our daddy!
With a bat in Kapil Dev's hands,
He's hit another sixer!
Oho, our daddy!
Come on out, our daddy!
Our good name has become a meme,
It's so embarrassing!
Oho, our daddy!
Come on out, our daddy!
Oho, our daddy!
Our daddy is a total rogue!
Oho, our daddy!
Come on out, our daddy!
Oho, our daddy!
Our daddy is a total rogue!
...
You went ahead and set up shop,
And look, humiliation is cutting the ribbon!
Just like an EMI scheme,
It makes us pay in insults every day!
Inside this body for a month now,
A wild beat is playing this crazy mess!
Inside a hair-dyeing daddy,
This is the magic a romantic duet has done!
The train ticket examiner got caught at last!
To Kasi, to Kasi...
A ticket bought for spiritual Kasi,
Ended up being used for party Goa instead!
A song hummed casually in the bathroom,
Has become a viral hit across the town!
The whole system is turning upside down, man!
The troubles are only piling up, man!
Life is thrashing us however it likes, man!
It's scrubbing and washing us clean, man!
Oh man!
That drumstick soup you had,
Has turned into a trap for you!
You didn't keep your distance,
Now you have to go buy diapers, buddy!
Hey, when the lights went out,
Why on earth did you go
Right next to your wife?
Oho, our daddy!
Come on out, our daddy!
Oho, our daddy!
Our daddy is a total rogue!
Oho, our daddy!
Come on out, our daddy!
Oho, our daddy!
Our daddy is a total rogue!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song is a humorous and satirical track from the movie 'Veetla Vishesham' (a remake of Badhaai Ho), where adult sons react to the unexpected late-age pregnancy of their middle-aged parents. The lyrics humorously express the sons' embarrassment, mocking their father for creating a public spectacle and turning the family into the talk of the town and a subject for social media memes.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Emoni / Rhyme (Monorhyme)

Thirumba vanganum paal dappa

The usage of repeating end-words and rhyming words like 'appappaa', 'dappa', and 'pappa' creates a playful nursery-rhyme rhythm.

Nursery Rhyme Parody

Jhony jhony yes pappa / Puthusa ippo oru pappa

Subverting the well-known nursery rhyme 'Johny Johny Yes Papa' to fit late-stage pregnancy craving (eating mangaa).

Simile / Metaphor

Kapil dev-u kaiyil bat-u / Thirumba sixer adikidhu

Comparing the father's late virility/fatherhood to cricket legend Kapil Dev hitting a sixer unexpectedly.

Iyaibu (End Rhyme)

Drumtick potta soup-u / Athu vechathu unakku aappu

Matching end sounds in lines like 'soup-u', 'aappu', 'gap-u', and 'maappu'.

Trivia
