chhoti si jindagi gehari si jeb hai
baaki to jaan-e-man baaton ke seb hai
chhoti si jindagi gehari si jeb hai
baaki to jaan-e-man baaton ke seb hai

baatein hai sab saali baatein hain
kehte hai phir bhool jaatein hain
hey johny zindagi juwaan hai khel yaar
hey johny gadaar aaj nakad phir kal udhaar
hey johny matlab hi hai asali yaar, hey johny

aayegi nahi phir ye jindagi
mar marke kyun jina yaar, jamke khaana pina yaar
mar marke kyun jina yaar, bharke pyaala pina yaar
maangega to mera hai
chhinega to tera hai ki nahi
baatein hai sab saali baatein hain
kehte hai phir bhool jaatein hain
hey johny sab kuchh hai yahaan sale mein
hey johny gadaar sab chalta hai khel mein
hey johny chadh ja tu bhi rail mein, hey johny

bharake chusle, jeb me thus le
baaton mein na aana tu, apni karta jaana tu
baaton mein na aana tu, apna gaana gaana tu
jaadu hai tere mein
jaadu hai tere mein ki nahi

bhala kar to tera bhala ho
aisa kaun jo saala chala ho
hey johny thoda sa tu bhi khel yaar
hey gadaar jo aaye tu pel yaar
hey johny aaj nakad kal phir udhaar, hey johny

A life so brief, a pocket deep,
All else, my love, mere words to keep.
A life so brief, a pocket deep,
All else, my love, mere words to keep.

Words, words, all they ever are,
They speak, then vanish like a star.
Hey Johnny, life's a gambler's game,
Hey Johnny, a cheat, today's cash, tomorrow's claim.
Hey Johnny, self-interest is the only true name, hey Johnny.

This life, it won't return again,
Why live in pain, my friend, dine and drink again?
Why live in pain, my friend, fill your cup and drink again?
If you ask, it's mine,
If you steal, is it really thine?
Words, words, all they ever are,
They speak, then vanish like a star.
Hey Johnny, everything's on sale here,
Hey Johnny, the traitor runs the game, I fear,
Hey Johnny, climb aboard the train, my dear, hey Johnny.

Fill your mouth, stuff your pocket,
Don't be swayed by words, just do what you ought,
Don't be swayed by words, just sing your own song,
Magic lies within you,
Magic lies within you, doesn't it?

Do good, and good will come your way,
Who's the one who's truly gone astray?
Hey Johnny, play your own little game,
Hey traitor, if they come, then you should maim.
Hey Johnny, today's cash, tomorrow's claim, hey Johnny.
