Lyrics

o baabu tel maalish
karaa lo boot polish
o baabu tel maalish
karaa lo boot polish
phool se halka sar ho jaaye tel maalish
darpan jaisa joota chamke boot polish
o baabu tel maalish
karaa lo boot polish
o baabu tel maalish
karaa lo boot polish

kehte hain daaru kise kehte hain bhang
champi karalo chadhe aankho mein rang
kehte hain daaru kise kehte hain bhang
champi karaalo chade aankhon me rang
malish kara polish kara
garmi ho sardi ho chaahe pade baarish

o babu tel malish
karalo boot polish
o babu tel malish
karalo boot polish

chamka ke doon jo abhi joote ko baandh
dharti pe sab ye kahen utra hai chaand
chamka ke doon jo abhi joote ko baandh
dharti pe sab ye kahen utra hai chaand

sar jo tera mal du zara
taare na dikhe to kabhi karo naalikh
o babu tel malish
karalo boot polish
o babu tel malish
karalo boot polish

phera jo haath laga aisa bhala
rota jo aaya wohi hansta chala
phera jo haath laga aisa bhala
rota jo aaya wohi hansta chala
are dekho idhar joota magar
ik baar to chhoone do yahi hai gujaarish

o babu tel maalish
karaa lo boot polish
o baabu tel maalish
karaa lo boot polish
