Lyrics
Ham toh hain divaane, mastaane, mumbaiya
(Oh mama mama mama, ham saare hain mumbaiya
Ham betaale bhee milake, taal me naache ta thaiyya) - (2)
Oh lala oh lala, ham pite mastee kaa pyaala
Gopaala gopaala khul jaaye kismat kaa taala
Pichhe mudke dekh raha kyu, keh de naa kai jhaala
Oh mama mama mama, ham saare hain mumbaiya
Ham betaale bhee milake, taal me naache ta thaiyya
Oh lala oh lala, ham pite mastee kaa pyaala
Gopaala gopaala khul jaaye kismat kaa taala
Pichhe mudke dekh raha kyu, keh de naa kai jhaala
Ham toh hain divaane, mastaane, mumbaiya
Kaisa ghotaala hai, kaisee yeh mixing hai
Parde ke pichhe hai kya draama
Kaisa tahelka hai, kya match fixing hai
Yeh kya macha hai roj hangaama
Naa woh gandhee rahe, naa woh gautam rahe
Naa woh public rahee, naa woh mausam rahe
Oh mama mama mama, ham saare hain mumbaiya
Ham betaale bhee milake, taal me naache ta thaiyya
Oh lala oh lala, ham pite mastee kaa pyaala
Gopaala gopaala khul jaaye kismat kaa taala
Pichhe mudke dekh raha kyu, keh de naa kai jhaala
Chaahe, chaahe, ham toh chaahe - (2)
Aankho me telescope ham chaahe, pairo me rocket speed ham chaahe
Kudiyo ke saath de ham chaahe, disco me rehna le ham chaahe
Aaju se dekho ya baaju se dekho tum, chaaro taraf se lagatee sundaree
Yaaro iss style se bole mobile se, rehatee kaha hai puchho yeh paree
Chashma aankhon pe hai, aankhon me hai ghadee
Gusse me hai khadee, kyu gulaabee chhadee
Oh mama mama mama, ham saare hain mumbaiya
Ham betaale bhee milake, taal me naache ta thaiyya
Oh lala oh lala, ham pite mastee kaa pyaala
Gopaala gopaala khul jaaye kismat kaa taala
Pichhe mudke dekh raha kyu, keh de naa kai jhaala
