    by: Aditi Singh Sharma

    O uh ho o o ho.
    O uh ho o o ho.
    Dil ka dimaag se
    Jhagda lagaaya kise
    Peechhe ke darwaaze se ae.
    Dabe paanv aaya kaise
    Thoda sa kameena
    Thoda bechara hai
    Ishq bhoot sahi par yeh
    Bhoot bada hi pyaara hai
    Offo! Isey. isey daant ke bhagaaun
    Offo! Ya. ya seene se lagaaun
    Offo! Isey. isey daant ke bhagaaun
    Offo! Ya. ya seene se lagaaun
    Sar pe bithaaun, ya thappad lagaaun
    Offo O...
    Dekho leke aaya hai
    Pocket mein sharaaratein
    Tere jaisi hai zara aa
    Iski bhi aadatein
    Upar se garam hai
    Andar se naram hai
    Thoda shareef bhi hai thoda
    Thoda sa besharam hai
    hai hai...
    Offo! Isey. isey daant ke bhagaaun
    Offo! Ya. ya seene se lagaaun
    Offo! Isey. isey daant ke bhagaaun
    Uffo! Ya. ya seene se lagaaun
    Sar pe bithaaun, ya thappad lagaaun
    Offo O...
    Hairat ko bhi hairaaniyaan hone lagi
    Ab hosh mein nadaaniyan hone lagi
    Baithe hain dil ek dillagi pe haar ke
    Mehangi badi manmaaniyan hone lagi
    Yaari ke bahaane kandha sehlaata hai
    Phir mauka milte hi ye par phailata hai
    Haathon ke paar hi iska ishara hai
    Ishq bhoot sahi par ye bhoot bada hi pyara hai
    Aye ae ae.
    Offo! Isey. isey daant ke bhagaaun
    Offo! Ya. ya seene se lagaaun
    Offo! Isey. isey daant ke bhagaaun
    Offo! Ya. ya seene se lagaaun
    Sar pe bithaaun, ya thappad lagaaun
    Offo O...
    Uf oh. Uf ho. Uffo...
