Takku mukku tikku thalam poda porenda
Namma ponnungala jigu jigunnu matha porenda
Konjam powder athaan pottu palapalappa serthu
En bujji ponnu vandhu putta suru suruppa yethu
Takku mukku tikku thalam poda porenda
Namma ponnungala jigu jigunnu matha porenda
Sillaki billaki seena kuttiyae
Indha mamava vaattadhadi ceylon rottiyae
Purottaakku saalnava potta super-u
Ennai katti pudichi kadichidendi en jigu jiguchaan

Takku mukku thikku thikku
Takku mukku thikku rhythm
I am going to drop the takku mukku thikku beat, man!
I am going to make our girls sparkle and shine, man!
Dab on a little powder and add some glow,
Once my darling girl shows up, crank up the energy!
I am going to drop the takku mukku thikku beat, man!
I am going to make our girls sparkle and shine, man!
Sillaakki pillaakki, my cute little doll!
Don't torment this mama, my soft Ceylon roti!
Pouring salna gravy over parotta is pure bliss!
Hug me tight and take a bite, my dazzling babe!
Takku mukku thikku thikku
Takku mukku thikku rhythm
Hey fair bat, her waist is swaying like an oar!
She tempts me to hold her close, driving me wild!
Hey fair bat, her waist is swaying like an oar!
She tempts me to hold her close, driving me wild!
Give me a kiss right now, I'm drooling here!
Don't keep me waiting and craving, or the bill will shoot through the roof!
Give me a kiss right now...
Chorus: Aiyaiyo!
Male: I'm drooling here...
Chorus: Aiyaiyo!
Male: Don't keep me waiting and craving, or the bill will shoot through the roof!
Hey, as long as friends are together, that's enough, man!
Why on earth do we need wealth and luxury, man?
When you leave this world, what are you going to take with you, man?
Even if you rule a kingdom, without friendship it's all useless, man!
If you understand this, you've got real style!
This youth is never coming back!
If you get your hands on some cash,
don't question where it came from, big guy!
If you understand this, you've got real style!
This youth is never coming back!
If you get your hands on some cash,
don't question where it came from, big guy!
Takku takku
I am going to drop the takku mukku thikku beat, man!
I am going to make our girls sparkle and shine, man!
Dab on a little powder and add some glow,
Once my darling girl shows up, crank up the energy!

Don't torment this mama, my soft Ceylon roti!

Hug me tight and take a bite, my dazzling babe!
