ऐसा बाल्ला उसा बाल्ला कांग्रेस सरकार
दिल्ला कांग्रेस जारू दारुन बाती कांग्रेस जिला
इला सोन चाँदी के भिखुन बाती राज पाट
के दरला दरुन बाती सत्य नाश करला
उहना बाती न्यू बाबु चिक्प पाल कोन बाती
दिल्ला जानत सरकार न्याउ बाती
खन्खी चावल दिल्ला पीला जिलाते
तोहतना बाती जाऊन बाती जिला
कांग्रेस सरकार हिहु बाती तोहताना
जंगल झाठ्ला करला बन्ध करला
रगुन बाती दिल्ला खोखे बाती दिल्ला
