Aunt does not have a mustache on her face,
but hey, she is truly the man of the house, buddy!
Uncle does not wear a saree,

I ask this whole crowd, what kind of spectacle is this?
Even after drinking, I am steady on my feet! Wah, what style!

A full bottle has gone down, my friend,
and once it goes inside, true wisdom dawns, my friend!
Once you drink this, you won't even think of lying, my friend!
Every word I say is the honest truth, I swear on your father!
My mother-in-law is a multimillionaire,
yet in her daughter's name, there is absolute zero!
