Chal chal chal mere saathi

“Haathi Mere Saathi” (1971) was a delight for kids when this movie was first released. It had everything that one needed. It had Rajesh Khanna, and it had elephants doing wonderful stuffs. What more does a kid and those young at heart want ?
Here is the theme/ title song of this movie which was a big rage during its time. The car of Tanuja has stopped and it needs to be pushed. Now more heroes would do the pushing themselves, but not our Rajesh Khanna. He has lots of help in the form of several elephants. Now whatever the horse power of Tanuja’s convertible, rajesh Khanna has sufficient elephant power available. So while the hero does the singing, his truste elephants do the pushing job. In fact they go one better. One elephant brings a rope and starts towing the car from the front, while other elephants push it from the rear.
As the song ends, the car relents and gets started . Why I am not surprised ?
This song is sung by Kishore Kumar. Anand Bakshi was the lyricist and Laxmikant Pyarelal composed the music.
song-Chal chal chal mere saathi (haathi mere saathi) (1971) Singer-Kishore Kumar, Lyrics- Anand Bakshi , MD-Laxmikant Pyarelal
Lyrics
chal chal chal mere saathi, o mere haathi
chal le chal khataaraa kheench ke
chal yaar, dhakkaa maar
bandh hai motor car
chal yaar dhakkaa maar
chal chal chal mere saathi, o mere haathi
chal le chal khataaraa kheench ke
chal yaar, dhakkaa maar
band hai motor car
chal yaar dhakkaa maar
chal chal chal mere saathi
he he he
ho ho ho ho
phoolon si naazuk hai wo, motor mein baithi hai jo
phoolon si naazuk hai wo, motor mein baithi hai jo
aahistaa aahistaa chal, usko na takleef ho
haay haay, khaa na jaaye
haay haay, khaa naa jaaye uski naazuk kamariyaa bal,
chal chal chal mere saathi, o mere haathi
chal le chal khataaraa kheench ke
chal yaar, dhakkaa maar
band hai motor car
chal yaar dhakkaa maar
chal chal chal mere saathi
khidmat teri kaam de, shaayad wo inaam de
khidmat teri kaam de, shaayad wo inaam de
kar us haseen ko salaam, aankhon se paigaam de
paas aaja, o sun raajaa
paas aaja, o sun raajaa
maukaa na jaaye nikal, chal
chal chal chal mere saathi, o mere haathi
chal le chal khataaraa kheench ke
chal yaar, dhakkaa maar
bandh hai motor car
chal yaar dhakkaa maar
chal chal chal mere saathi
tu yaaron ka yaar hai, kitnaa wafaadaar hai
tu yaaron ka yaar hai, kitnaa wafaadaar hai
jhoothaa hai saaraa jahaan, sachchaa tera pyaar hai
tu paglaa, na badlaa,
tu paglaa, na badlaa,
saari duniya gayi hai badal, chal
chal chal chal mere saathi, o mere haathi
chal le chal khataaraa kheench ke
chal yaar, dhakkaa maar
band hai motor car
chal yaar dhakkaa maar

It was indeed a national anthem of sorts for kids of 1970s, the way “nanna munna raahi hoon” was the natioanl anthem for kids of 1960s, and “aao bacchon tumhe dikhaayen” was for kids of 1950s.
There are still so many songs that are not yet posted.
