Wooden cart, wooden cart,
a cart that lost its linchpin!
Wooden cart, wooden cart,
a cart that lost its linchpin!
The cart that once sped like the wind,
is now worn out from shaking and rattling!
The cart that once sped like the wind,
is now worn out from shaking and rattling!
Hey uncle driving a broken-down cart,
now you are trapped, oh Lord Rama!
Chorus: Hey uncle driving a broken-down cart,
you are trapped now, oh Lord Rama!
Wooden cart, wooden cart,
a cart that lost its linchpin!
Female: The cart that once sped like the wind,
is now worn out from shaking and rattling!
Chorus: Hey uncle driving a broken-down cart,
you are trapped now, oh Lord Rama!
Your horns are broken now,
where do you have the strength left to charge at us?
Chorus: Your horns are broken now,
where do you have the strength left to charge at us?
When you get knocked on the head and brought in line,
your arrogance will cool down!
Tell us, mister,
where did you drop your axle pin?
Chorus: If you don't tell us,
just stand right here in the open street!
A once-fine cart with a broken axle,
a cart brought to a dead stop!
Hey uncle driving a broken-down cart,
now you are trapped, oh Lord Rama!
Hey uncle driving a broken-down cart,
you are trapped now, oh Lord Rama!
Wooden cart, wooden cart,
a cart that lost its linchpin!
The cart that once sped like the wind,
is now worn out from shaking and rattling!

you are trapped now, oh Lord Rama!
He will hold the plough and till the field,
he will channel the water to the crops!
Chorus: He will hold the plough and till the field,
he will channel the water to the crops!
And the rest of the time,
he grazes cattle and calves!
If you hand him a book and ask him to read,
he is just a rustic country bumpkin!
Just go and ask him
if he even knows his ABCs!
Female: Hey uncle driving a broken-down cart,
now you are trapped, oh Lord Rama!
Hey uncle driving a broken-down cart,
you are trapped now, oh Lord Rama!

Uncle with your hair tied in a tuft,
shall we wind some flowers around it?
Chorus: Uncle with your hair tied in a tuft,
shall we wind some flowers around it?
If we put flowers and a red bindi on you,
you would look just like a woman!
I will buy you a saree,
go ahead and tie it around your waist!
If you don't have the money with you,
I will pay the cash!

all its courage and bravado!
Hey uncle driving a broken-down cart,
