வருகிறார் வருகிறார் ராணியம்மா
பராக் பராக் பராக்
வாயை மூடு கையை கட்டு
விஷமம் செய்யாதே வாலை சுருட்டு
She is coming, the queen mother is coming!
Make way, make way, attention!
Close your mouth, tie your hands!
Do not make mischief, tuck in your tail!
நான் ஆணையிட்டால்
பொட்டிப் பாம்பாய் அடங்கணும் யாரும்
பிள்ளை புருஷன் அத்தனை பேரும்
நான்தான் ஒன்னு மற்றவர் பூஜ்ஜியம்
இங்கே நடப்பது பொம்பளை ராஜ்ஜியம்
If I give an order...
Everyone must submit like a boxed snake.
Children, husband, each and every one of them.
I am the number one, everyone else is a zero.
What runs here is a kingdom of women!

இழுக்க இழுக்க இன்பம் எனக்கு கிடைக்கல
ராஜா ராணி ரம்மி சேர்த்து ஆட முடியல்ல
சீட்டாட்டம் தான் வீட்டுக்குள்ள போட முடியல
Puff puff puff puff...
