Good king Rama was building a bridge,building a bridge, building a bridge
Good king Rama was building a bridge one bright and sunny day.
Some monkeys brought big bolders for that bridge, for that bridge, for that bridge
Some monkeys brought big bolders for that bridge one bright and sunny day.
A squirrel brought a pebble for that bridge,for that bridge, for that bridge
A squirrel brought a pebble for that bridge one bright and sunny day.
So do what you can, whenever you can
No matter what people may say
Do what you can whenever you can
Starting from today.
The monkeys started laughing, ha, ha, ha,
ha, ha,ha, ha, ha, ha,
The monkeys started laughing ha, ha, ha
One bright and sunny day.
The squirrel started crying, boo, hoo, hoo
boo, hoo, hoo, boo hoo hoo
The squirrel started crying, boo, hoo, hoo
One bright and sunny day
But do what you can, whenever you can
No matter what people may say
Do what you can whenever you can
Starting from today.
Good king Rama heard that cry
Heard that cry, heard that cry
Good king Rama heard that cry
One bright and sunny day
He took the little squirrel in his palm
In his palm, in his palm
He took the little squirrel in his palm
One bright and Sunny day.
He said do what you can, whenever you can
No matter what people may say
Do what you can whenever you can
Starting from today
Rama stroked the squirrel on its back
On its back, on its back
Rama stroked the squirrel on its back
One bright and sunny day.
And that's why Indian squirrels have three stripes
Have three stripes, have three stripes
And that's why Indian squirrels have three stripes
Ever Since that day.
So do what you can, whenever you can
No matter what people may say
Do what you can whenever you can
Starting from today.
