She took a direct bus and arrived, acting all cranky
And I roam around locally like a lazy bum
She whines every single day, crying for food, food
She pesters my mom to death asking for Konar idli
The moment I looked at her,
I came up with an idea!
We are going to roam all across the city,
The two of us as a pair now!
In a snap,
Shall I reel off the restaurant names?
With my eyes closed,
Shall I recite the menu card?
Sukkubhai's fried curry,
I'll buy it for you, don't worry!
It is completely MSG-free!
Daily... daily...
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Daily at home,
Hey hey hey
You don't have to cook, girl!
Hey hey hey
Without a kitchen,
Kitchen... kitchen...
Kalathi, Kalathi,
Kalathi rose milk,
Shall I order two?
Trouser Kadai curry rice,
Shall I get it packed to go?
Bombay Lassi sprinkled with sugar,
Shall I buy that for you?
To Jennie, so many tastes,
Shall I introduce them all?
Shall I feed you ghee pongal?
Da da da da...
Chorus: Haan...
Male: That black tea over there,
Shall I buy it for you, da da da da?
Chorus: What else, what else, what else?
Male: Sa re ga ma pa dha ni,
You are the perfect match for me!
Life is just a plate of kothu parotta!
Aah... aahh...
Hey hey hey daily
Kitchen k-k-k-kitchen
...
She took a direct bus and arrived, acting all cranky
And I roam around locally like a lazy bum
She whines every single day, crying for food, food
She pesters my mom to death asking for Konar idli
Shall I hold your hand and confess my love?
Chorus: Haan...
Male: Shall I hug you tight and sing a duet?
You don't even need to visit restaurants, girl,
I am ready to cook for you!
If you say yes, I am your husband,
If not, I am your personal cook, girl!
Di di dee dee dee
Chokka poori
In search of chokka poori, bhai saab!
In search of chokka poori, bhai saab!
In search of chokka poori, bhai saab!
Chokka poori... ee...
