A smoking-hot firecracker!
Switch up your top-class style!
Sharpen it razor-sharp on the whetstone!
If anyone comes at you, strike and smash!
A handsome Abbas with a mustache!
Throw on a garland and speak out!
Pour the booze into the sweet sarbath!
Fill up a cutting glass!
Hey, don't spin around acting all arrogant!
Don't throw a fit and scream!
Don't stand around spinning lies!
Buddy, don't bluff and try to slip away!
Is it Dumangolia or the spinning earth?
Make some loud banging boom-boom beats,
and dance the wild street rhythm!
Shake your body and stomp your feet!
Who wrote whose name here anyway?
Life is totally crazy and thrilling, buddy!
A smoking-hot firecracker!
Switch up your top-class style!
Sharpen it razor-sharp!
If anyone comes at you, strike and smash!
A handsome Abbas with a mustache!
Throw on a garland and speak out!
Pour the booze into the sweet sarbath!
Fill up a cutting glass!
Hey, he is just a dummy!
Like a totally useless fake,
he keeps telling us
such a long-winded story!
This love is like college life,
but if things go wrong,
our entire life
will turn into a garbage truck!
Hey, Gopalu touched his sister-in-law's hand,
Oh man...
and her lover hurled a big rock at him!
Oh no!
If you down a drink, it is all fun and joy,
but if your pulse stops, your light goes out!
Listen here, desire is dangerous!
Just mind your own business!
Buddy, cut back on your bossy orders!
Hold tight onto your shorts!
Only as long as you are alive and awake,
do you walk around on two legs!
If you drop dead, you get eight legs to carry you!
When breath stops, it is just shoulders carrying you!
A smoking-hot firecracker!
Switch up your top-class style!
Sharpen it razor-sharp!
If anyone comes at you, strike and smash!
A handsome Abbas with a mustache!
Throw on a garland and speak out!
Pour the booze into the sweet sarbath!
Fill up a cutting glass!
A smoking-hot firecracker!
Switch up your top-class style!
A smoking-hot firecracker!
Switch up your top-class style!
