Rowdy baby
Hey, my fizzy goli soda (marble soda)!
My spicy mutton gravy!
I am your little puppy,
Take me,
Take me!
Hey, my silk shirt!
You're a solid stunner,
With love dripping all over,
Talk to me,
Talk to me!
Hey, my dear darling,
If you just make up your mind,
We can cozy up together,
And my heart will buzz with joy!
Hey, my dear queen,
Come into my dreams!
For the two of us to unite,
Has a fire ignited?
Come on... let's head
Over to the beach,
And bust out a wild street dance!
You are my rowdy baby!
Come on... you are my
Only girlfriend,
I will give you a bouquet of flowers,
We will start a whole new trend, baby!
We'll go...
We'll dance...
Rowdy baby...
Girlfriend...
Flower bouquet...
New trend, baby!
Rowdy baby...
Ra ra ra ra rowdy baby...
Because of you, the mood is set!
My hormonal balance is ruined!
Hey Kamatchi, my Meenakshi!
Even this Maari's eyes are locked on you!
One plus one
Is two, darling!
You plus me is three, darling!
Come on, my warrior queen Jhansi Rani,
My Krishnaveni,
I will buy you a pony,
Ride it and come to me!
My magician,
You are the slyest of the sly!
I am your other half,
We make an awesome pair!
Rowdy baby!
