Hey, step aside, step aside!
Hey, move away, move away!
When asked to coo softly, this flower growls!
Hey, kept under control by being handed dolls,
This flower now leaps past generations! Zoom, zoom!
Come on, bring it on!
If you have the guts, face it and bring it on!
She is a whirlwind of a girl, thoy thoy thoy!
Come on, bring it on!
If you have the guts, face it and bring it on!
She is a whirlwind of a girl, thoy thoy thoy!
A wild parrot that no cage can hold back,
A flash of lightning disguised as a rainbow,
Wherever you look, it feels like Diwali,
A whirlwind bearing the name of a woman!
She sweeps in like a cool breeze,
Like a moon whistling with attitude!
She is a whirlwind of a girl, thoy thoy thoy!
She sweeps in like a cool breeze,
Like a moon whistling with attitude!
She is a whirlwind of a girl, thoy thoy thoy!
Old rules and traditions wail and cry,
As a whole new definition of a girl bursts through!
Those who tried to hold her down tremble in fear,
Look at the sheer swagger in her glare!
She does not have the nature to just stand in the crowd,
She is not the type to merely watch from the sides.
Are you scared of the firecracker?
She is the one who set it off!
She sweeps in like a cool breeze,
Like a moon whistling with attitude!
She is a whirlwind of a girl, thoy thoy thoy!
She sweeps in like a cool breeze,
Like a moon whistling with attitude!
She is a whirlwind of a girl, thoy thoy thoy!
Hey, step aside, step aside!
Hey, move away, move away!
When asked to coo softly, this flower growls!
Hey, kept under control by being handed dolls,
This flower now leaps past generations! Zoom, zoom!
Come on, bring it on!
If you have the guts, face it and bring it on!
She is a whirlwind of a girl, thoy thoy thoy!
Come on, bring it on!
If you have the guts, face it and bring it on!
She is a whirlwind of a girl, thoy thoy thoy!
A wild parrot that no cage can hold back,
A flash of lightning disguised as a rainbow,
Wherever you look, it feels like Diwali,
A whirlwind bearing the name of a woman!
She sweeps in like a cool breeze,
Like a moon whistling with attitude!
She is a whirlwind of a girl, thoy thoy thoy!
She sweeps in like a cool breeze,
Like a moon whistling with attitude!
She is a whirlwind of a girl, thoy thoy thoy!
She sweeps in like a cool breeze,
Like a moon whistling with attitude!
She is a whirlwind of a girl, thoy thoy thoy!
She sweeps in like a cool breeze,
Like a moon whistling with attitude!
She is a whirlwind of a girl, thoy thoy thoy!
She sweeps in like a cool breeze,
Like a moon whistling with attitude!
She is a whirlwind of a girl, thoy thoy thoy!
