I am really, really, really
not a good boy!
To all the good people out there,
I am not a darling boy!
I am really, really, really
not a good boy!
To all the good people out there,
I am not a darling boy!
All my friends are scoundrels,
cheap and petty thieves!
We don't have a hometown,
nor a permanent name.
There is no one to question us,
and no time to flirt or chase girls.
We have no kin to call our own,
and no room for emotional drama.
Raja, Raja!
I am Rocket Raja!
Hey Raja, Raja!
Pickpocket Raja!
I am really, really, really
not a good boy!
To all the good people out there,
I am not a darling boy!
Haaan... haaannanna...
Ye hey ye hey ye hey ye hey

Haan haan haan haan haan haan
Back when I was in fifth grade,
I was already swindling and stealing.
Back when I was in sixth grade,
I was slicing pockets with a blade.
I stole the headmaster's bike
and sold it off for scrap metal!
In the Central Jail a hundred times,
I have pitched my tent and stayed!
If someone is gullible, cheat them!
My whole business is conning and fooling.
Everything I say is a pure lie,
every hand I move slips into someone's pocket!
Even out of a solid rock of granite,
I can squeeze out rich butter!
Raja, Raja!
I am Rocket Raja!
Hey Raja, Raja!
Pickpocket Raja!
I am really, really, really
not a good boy!
To all the good people out there,
I am not a darling boy!
Jinda thak thak jinda jinda

Lehilaalahi... lehilaalahi

By counting prison bars again and again,
I learned my mathematics!
At four years old, like cinema villain Nambiar,
I was already firing my gun!
Like the bold hero of Vanjikottai Vaaliban,
I dreamed of living large!
As a kid who grew street-smart before his time,
I made quite a name for myself!
My route is a path of its own,
my strike hits with a shockwave!
Everything I say is a pure lie,
every hand I move slips into someone's pocket!
Even out of a solid rock of granite,
I can squeeze out rich butter!
Raja, Raja!
You are Rocket Raja!
Hey Raja, Raja!
Pickpocket Raja!
I am really, really, really
not a good boy!
To all the good people out there,
I am not a darling boy!
All my friends are scoundrels,
cheap and petty thieves!
We don't have a hometown,
nor a permanent name.
There is no one to question us,
and no time to flirt or chase girls.
We have no kin to call our own,
and no room for emotional drama.
Raja, Raja... okay, okay!
You are Rocket Raja... that's right, buddy!
Hey Raja, Raja... yeah!
Pickpocket Raja!
Lehilaalahi... lehilaalahi
Lehilaalahi... haan
