Jaako lao bole baigan, leko aaya aaloo,
Khaala jitni gori hai, utna opposite hai khaalu,
Potti muskuraayi aur mein bhi bataya haatan,
Basti waale poore milke maare joote laatan
Apan bhi kutte ki dum hai kardete nalli tedi
Mauqa mila toh rakhdete nai toh khaalete bhairi
Saare Haalywood waale dhundre mereku,
bolre poore hero lelo, dedo humku pheku
Mr Pheku ahaan, Mr Pheku..
