Hey girl, oh girl, hey my girl!
Dude, oh dude, my bestie, my crew, everyone!
Tomato, ripe tomato!
My girl is a sweet papaya, papaya!
Tomato, ripe tomato!
My girl is a sweet papaya, papaya!
Tomato, ripe tomato!
My girl is a sweet papaya, papaya!
Tomato, ripe tomato!
Hey, hey, ripe tomato!
Whenever we spot a tomato,
We circle the pan to cook it up just right!
Did we ever show off or act arrogant?
When we make an entrance, you will just love it!
When all of us get together,
Everyone is top-class, dude, just admit it, dude!
Standing up, sitting down, shining bright and cool,
Pongal cooked at home, with pickle on the side,
Everyone here is single, so let us all mingle!
Full of fun and joy, even the neighborhood uncle!
Give us a chance and we will break into a wild kuthu dance!
We will drink our Boost and show our energy!
Hey, I do not need anyone, nobody at all!
I will make a grand entrance in style... let us go!
Tomato, ripe tomato!
My girl is a sweet papaya, papaya!
Tomato, ripe tomato!
My girl is a sweet papaya, papaya!
Tomato, ripe tomato!
My girl is a sweet papaya, papaya!
Tomato, ripe tomato!
Hey, hey, ripe tomato!
Looking at you, my lonely rose,
I am the king meant for you!
Like we are sweet juice,
Squeeze it out, squeeze it well!
Standing up, sitting down, shining bright and cool,
Pongal cooked at home, with pickle on the side,
Everyone here is single, so let us all mingle!
Full of fun and joy, even the neighborhood uncle!
Give us a chance and we will break into a wild kuthu dance!
We will drink our Boost and show our energy!
Hey, I do not need anyone, nobody at all!
I will make a grand entrance in style... let us go!
Tomato, ripe tomato!
My girl is a sweet papaya, papaya!
Tomato, ripe tomato!
My girl is a sweet papaya, papaya!
Tomato, ripe tomato!
My girl is a sweet papaya, papaya!
Tomato, ripe tomato!
Hey, hey, ripe tomato!
