A penny earned, a rupee spent,
Brother, do not ask, do not ask how it went.
The outcome: empty, empty still,
The outcome: empty, empty still.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... hmm

Brother, do not ask, do not ask how it went.
The outcome: empty, empty still,

Use what you have, my child, that's the way,
Mama, use what you have, come what may.
Daddy, use what you have, I say.
You are young, your wisdom slight,
Do not lecture us on what is right.
Go away, do not preach to me,
Speak, speak, what will you decree?
For what you lack, the things you crave,
Hold fast to what you have, be brave.
Hold fast to what you have, and keep,
Lest the sparrow takes the wheat,
Then, my child, you must not weep.
Mama, oh, oh, you must not weep.
Earn four, spend eight, in vain you toil,
Dear Kanhaiyalal, in the soil.
The outcome: empty, empty still,
The outcome: empty, empty still.
A penny earned, a rupee spent,
Brother, do not ask, do not ask how it went.

Look at your father, your neighbor too,
How they live with such a view.
How they live, with such a grace,
Not all that glitters gold we embrace.
Oh, it's not all gold, they say.
You are old, dear father, how can fashion hold sway?
How can fashion hold sway?
If you color the donkey, does a cow then lay?
Say, does a cow then lay?
Daddy, yeah, yeah, yeah, Daddy, yeah, yeah, yeah!
We adore the sweets, the pure delight,
While you must eat the bread and bite.

What will be, will be, let us enjoy for a day,
Yes, yes, let us enjoy for a day.
If there's no light in the house, should we set it ablaze?
Say, should we set it ablaze?
Speak now, why have you grown still?
You know nothing, father, the world changes still,
The world changes, evening and morn.
I am your father, are you my offspring born?
Say, are you my offspring born?
The crow forgot his way, forgot his pace,
Tried the swan's gait with no grace.
The outcome: empty, empty still,
The outcome: empty, empty still.
A penny earned, a rupee spent,
