Like a slippery catfish, oh catfish,
you flash your shapely calves at me!
Like a cunning cat, like a cat,
you tempt me to chase and catch you!
Hey moneylender boy, oh boy,
you want to take me on pawn!
Demanding sweet kisses as your interest,
you are dying to snatch them away!
Your palm is a soft cotton bed,
for me to lie down and rest!
Your two eyes bite like ants,
and I squirm in delight!
The breeze is blowing wild,
drape your scarf tight!
She punches, she punches!
She punches, she punches!
She punches, she punches!
She punches, she punches!
She lands a knockout punch!
Then soothes it with her touch!
She tears my heart into shreds of cotton!

Like a bullock cart wheel,
my heart goes spinning around you!
Like waiting for salary at the end of the month,
my body has worn completely thin!
Hey, my heart is as heavy as a baby elephant,
yet you lift it with just a single thread!
Making me drop all my work,
you make me dream only of you!
Giving birth to five or six children,
when you give them to me,
longing with sweet desire right now,
my heart flutters with excitement!
A fresh spring is welling up inside,
and you're putting on quite a playful show!
She punches, she punches!
She punches, she punches!
She punches, she punches!
She punches, she punches!
She lands a knockout punch!
Chorus: She punches!
