--------------------हल्लो मेरो
-------------------गितांग ::::
आई लव यू त्वे मेरो ज्यू
जन दाळ भात मा घ्यू
हैरी भुज्जी को ठुंगार हेलो मेरे यार हौ ड़ू यू ड़ू
मुखडी में बहार है
जिकुड़ी मा उलार है
उत्तराखंड की छोरी है
जन आग की चिंगारी है
अंग्रेजी बुखार है
हिंदी का गुलदार है
हेलो मेरे यार हौ ड़ू यू ड़ू
आंखी बि मिलाती है
नखरा भी दिखाती है
बेकसूर छोरों थैं
च्त्गा भी लगवाती है
भारी च मक्कार
हेलो मेरे यार हौ ड़ू यू ड़ू
पाड़ी नहे बीन्गती है
फ़िल्मी गीत गाती है
हेलो हाय हाय कैकी
दगड़ीयों थैं भटयाती है
जिकुड़ी धोखा दार
हेलो मेरे यार हौ ड़ू यू ड़ू
चार इंची की कुर्ती पैरी
शरम ल्याज गोळ है
जीन्स द्याखा इन्नी कसी
जन तकिया परे खोळ है
दाना सयाणा छन लाचार
हेलो मेरे यार हौ ड़ू यू ड़ू
