Lyrics:
Sir pe haath daale
Khaali pet maare,
Topiwalleh!
Jhukke toh pairon ko chhoole
Par apna pichchu sambhalle
Haaton ko tu jode
Kharid le ghode
Yahi to raajneeti hai bhaiya
Bole meri maiyya
Haste ko aur hasaaye
Rote ko aur rulaaye
Pakde gaye to bole...
Na na na na na
Mathe pe laal teeka
Khoon wahi hai kaala
Dharam ke noton ko chhaape
Chipkaate hain jo dilon pe
Neeti ka maila ujaala
Andha kiye saala
Dhandha hai ye jhanda
Jhande ka hai batwaara
Khel wahi puraana...
Ha ha ha ha ha
