I arrive, a hotel on wheels, I bring,
I arrive, a hotel on wheels, I bring,
Hot pakoras, warm and bright, cold bottles swing,
I arrive, a hotel on wheels, I bring,
I arrive, a hotel on wheels, I bring.

A word-dance, a jingle, a whispered spell,
Soft biscuits, crisp and bold, toffees sweet to tell,
Soft biscuits, crisp and bold, toffees sweet to tell,
Lollipops to lick and savor, whistles you can yell,
Furr, furr, the whistle sings, a koel's song in the dell,
I arrive, a hotel on wheels, I bring,
I arrive, a hotel on wheels, I bring.

Oh, come brother, eat a samosa now,
Or maybe, taste the idli, savor how,
You, the vendor, eat your halwa puri too,
Your labor vast, yet wages few,
You, the vendor, eat your halwa puri too,
Your labor vast, yet wages few,
But darling, grieve not, no,
The fruit of work, it will appear, though slow,
I arrive, a hotel on wheels, I bring,
I arrive, a hotel on wheels, I bring.

If your beloved is cross, she’ll quickly concede,
She’ll quickly concede,
Give her ice cream, dear, a loving deed,
If your beloved is cross, she’ll quickly concede,
She’ll quickly concede,
Give her ice cream, dear, a loving deed,
And she’ll embrace you, flowers tender indeed,
I arrive, a hotel on wheels, I bring,
I arrive, a hotel on wheels, I bring,
Hot pakoras, warm and bright, cold bottles swing,
I arrive, a hotel on wheels, I bring,
I arrive, a hotel on wheels, I bring.
