I Swear Upon The Shame(ful) Gum...

Nothing much can be said about Yusuf Khan (alias, Daleep Kumar) who descends from a notorious den with his hands in the pocket, all in black and white, totally out of luck and 'khattam-shudd'!

Talat sahib was a real lady-killer. Don't be fooled by his honey-laced voice, just check out his photographs on the Internet!

BhayRay kammaN day bhaRay nateejay!

The translation was very tricky. To get to the (hard)core of each word(play), do listen to the Urdu lyrics more closely.

And now for the news in English:

*********************************

I swear upon the shame(ful) gum
My eel is gummed
Come on, come on (babe)
Let's ooh and aah today, oh Sana (at 9)a.m.
I swear upon the shame(ful) gum

Dil(do) is (pre)shaved
The rat is in the wilderness
Look how I'm lonesome (and not a three-some) tonight!

What kind of a Chin(ese) is she who is not in my lap with you?
I hope darling Judy doesn't kill me as we painfully live (separately in our own) apart(ments)
Ruth is pretty, so what?
(The nightie looks wonderful) in moonlight (without the load-shedding), so (bloody) what?
Candy is too cruel, (and her sister) Judy is (into) SM

I swear upon the shame(ful) gum
My eel is gummed....

Come hither now that Ruth has gone to sleep
Life is lost in a dessert (made out) of gum
My eyes search for you, where the (hell) are you (under the bed?)?
As I looka-looka, the (excess) gum splashes into the eyes (again, oops...sorry)
