Shall I kick it up?
Kick it, buddy, kick it!
Shall I blast the sound?
Blast it, buddy, blast it!
Shall I show some swagger?
Show it, buddy, show it!
Shall I bust a dance move?
Dance, buddy, dance!
Buddy, what happened?
Tore it apart and ate it up!
Without leaving anything behind,
We schooled them completely!
We schooled them completely!
Smashed it, smashed it...
Smashed it, smashed it... smashed it, smashed it...
Done and dusted!
Thagida thagida
Dha dha, make some noise, make some noise!
Thagida thagida...
Dha dha
Thagida thagida
Dha dha, make some noise, make some noise!
Thagida thagida...
Dha dha, make some noise, make some noise!
Total ruckus... hoy!
Only if grandpa comes,
We can leave, grandpa!
Chae, chae, chae!
High on sweets and livening things up,
Tea, tea, tea!
All those gym bodies are crafty rascals,
Fire, fire, fire!
He is the sharp little blade!
In the morning, we hustle,
At night, we party!
Even so, I put in
Hard work, bro!
If you think straight,
And live life to the fullest,
Our very life
Is simply awesome, bro!
Buddy, what happened?
Tore it apart and ate it up!
Without leaving anything behind,
We schooled them completely!
We schooled them completely!
Smashed it, smashed it...
Smashed it, smashed it... smashed it, smashed it...
Done and dusted!
Ram bam babam bam
Ram bam bam babam bam
Ram bam babam bam
Bam bam bam bam bam
Bam bam babam bam
Bam bam bam babam bam
Bam bam babam bam
Bam bam bam bam bam...
...
Under the blazing sun,
Shall we roam around?
Chicken biryani,
Shall we feast on it?
On the low street wall,
Shall we hang out?
Squatting down for a bit,
Chill with us, uncle!
Just like the gravy
Blends with parotta,
We would stick together,
But I have no sweetheart, bro!
Catching up with
Every new trend,
To show off in style,
I have no girl, bro!
Buddy, what happened?
Tore it apart and ate it up!
Without leaving anything behind,
We schooled them completely!
We schooled them completely!
Smashed it, smashed it...
Smashed it, smashed it... smashed it, smashed it...
Done and dusted!
We will school them completely!
Bam bam babam bam
Bam bam bam babam bam
Bam bam babam bam
Bam bam bam bam bam...
