chhoti si zindagi gahri si jeb hai
baki to janeman baato ke seb hai
chhoti si zindagi gahri si jeb hai
baki to janeman baato ke seb hai

baate hai sab shali baate hai
kahte hai phir bhul jate hai
hey johny zindagi juaa hai khel yaar
hey johny gaddar
aaj nagad phir kal udhar
hey johny matlab hi hai asli yaar
hey johny hey johny hey johny hey johny
aayegi nahi phir ye zindagi
ho mar mar ke kyu jeena yaar
jam ke khana peena yaar
mar mar ke kyu jeena yaar
bhar ke pyala peena yaar
mangega to mera hai
chhinega to tera hai ye nahi

baate hai sab shali baate hai
kahte hai phir bhul jate hai
hey johny sabkuch hai yaha sale me
hey johny gaddar
sab chalta hai khel ka
hey johny chadh ja tu bhi rail me
hey johny hey johny hey johny hey johny
hey johny hey johny
phal ki chus le, jebe thus le
ho baato me na aana tu
apni karta jana tu
baato me na aana tu
apna gana gana tu
jadu hai tere me
kabu hai tere me ki nahi

bhala kar to tera bhala ho
aisa kaun jo shala chala ho
hey johny thoda sa tu bhi khel yaar
hey gaddar jo aaye tu pel yaar
hey johny aaj nagad phir kal udhar
hey johny hey johny hey johny

A fleeting life, a pocket deep and vast,
The rest, my love, are apples of the past.
A fleeting life, a pocket deep and wide,
The rest, my love, are apples we hide.

Hollow whispers, hollow words they weave,
They speak, then swiftly, they deceive.
Oh Johnny, life's a gamble, play the game, my friend,
Oh Johnny, treacherous to the end.
Cash today, tomorrow debt's decree,
Oh Johnny, self-interest, the true decree.
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
This life will not return, you see.
Why live in dying, friend, in constant strife?
Feast and drink, and seize the precious life!
Why live in dying, friend, in constant pain?
Fill your cup, and drink and drink again!
If you ask, it's mine, the treasure I crave,
If you steal, it's yours, beyond the grave.

Hollow whispers, hollow words they spin,
They speak, then quickly let them in.
Oh Johnny, all is sale within this place,
Oh Johnny, treacherous the human race.
The game proceeds, at its own pace,
Oh Johnny, hop aboard the speeding train,
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, Johnny, Johnny.
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny.
Suck the fruit, and stuff your pockets full,
Don't be swayed by words, be mindful,
Don't be swayed by words, but stay true,
Sing your own song, original and new,
Magic dwells within you, it's within your hold,
Control is yours, a story to be told.

Do good, and goodness will be your due,
Who's ever sailed the world and felt untrue?
Oh Johnny, join the play, just a bit, my friend,
Oh treacherous, if they come, against them, contend.
Oh Johnny, cash today, tomorrow debt's decree,
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, Johnny.
