Pottaalae viruvirukkum Zardha paan
Amaran gaana paata ketaalae Girugirukkum
Machiii Naa vethala potta shokkula

Vethala potta shokkula Naan gapunnu kuthunen mookula
Ada vandhudhu paaru ratham Indha amaran manasu sutham
Vaaravadhi erakkam Amaran vandhu ninna sarakkum
Amaran pera sonna thaanae Soda bottle parakkum

Aisa lakkadi mettu thaanunga Amaran paatula thaan getti kaaranga
Ah ha aisa lakkadi mettu thaanunga Amaran paatula thaan getti kaaranga

Vethala potta shokkula Naan gapunnu kuthunen mookula
Ada vandhudhu paaru ratham Indha amaran manasu sutham

Pakkiri pichuva pakkiri Suthunaa kathiya suthunaa
Daggulu thaan oorula daggulu thaan Lockuthaan police-kku lockuthaan

Annaatha nammaalu Thottaaka ambaelu
Daaraagum un tholu Vendaanda veen vambu

Aisa lakkadi mettu thaanunga Hoi Amaran paatula thaan getti kaaranga
Ah ha aisa lakkadi mettu thaanunga Amaran paatula thaan getti kaaranga

Vethala potta shokkula Naan gapunnu kuthunen mookula

Hey aisa lakkadi mettu thaanunga Amaran paatula thaan getti kaaranga

Vethala potta shokkula Naan gapunnu kuthunen mookula
Ada vandhudhu paaru ratham Indha amaran manasu sutham
Vaaravadhi erakkam Amaran vandhu ninna sarakkum
Amaran pera sonna thaanae Soda bottle parakkum

Whistling : Aisa lakkadi mettu thaanunga
Amaran paatula thaan getti kaaranga Hey aisa lakkadi mettu thaanunga
Amaran paatula thaan getti kaaranga Podae aisa lakkadi mettu thaanunga
Amaran paatula thaan getti kaaranga Heyy heyy heyyy…eyy…
