Are you Madonna's song?
Are you a Mumbai model?
Do you look like Princess Diana?
Oh my, you...
What a body like Arnold's!
What a face like Ajanta art!
What speed like an Anaconda!
Oh my goodness!
Aha... your body is like a gypsy!
Your speech is cool like Pepsi, Pepsi!
Your look blends like a mixer!
The party is so sexy, sexy!
Oh King, why that look?
It touches like water and leaves
It gives a thrill forever!
You are a Playboy magazine, oh my!
.......................
What a body like Arnold's!
What a face like Ajanta art!
What speed like an Anaconda!
Oh my goodness!
Aha... your body is like a gypsy!
Your speech is cool like Pepsi, Pepsi!
Your look blends like a mixer!
The party is so sexy, sexy!
.......................
Secret of energy,
It's not Boost, it's you!
Female: For you to become a Complan boy,
I am the reason!
Silently every day,
The kiss that is given...
Female: It is a sweet playfully romantic act,
Just like Cadbury's chocolate!
Hey, when lip meets lip,
We don't need a zip to unite us!
Female: Oh my goodness... slowly...
Are you Madonna's song?
Are you a Mumbai model?
Do you look like Princess Diana?
Oh my, you...
What a body like Arnold's!
What a face like Ajanta art!
What speed like an Anaconda!
Oh my goodness!
When you come close to me,
My blood pressure shoots up!
Female: If I shed my bashfulness,
All shyness will cool down!
If hands touch upon me,
Just like a music keyboard...
Female: A melody is born!
Your body is pure music...
Hey, both major scales
And minor scales I saw in you!
Female: Sing me... like a song...
What a body like Arnold's!
What a face like Ajanta art!
What speed like an Anaconda!
Oh my goodness!
Are you Madonna's song?
Are you a Mumbai model?
Do you look like Princess Diana?
Oh my, you...
Oh King, why that look?
It touches like water and leaves
It gives a thrill forever!
You are a Playboy magazine, oh my!
Aha... your body is like a gypsy!
Your speech is cool like Pepsi, Pepsi!
Your look blends like a mixer!
The party is so sexy, sexy!
