Chai ke Liye jaise Toast hota hai,
Waise har ek BOSS zaruri hota hai.

Koi friday evening review par bulaye
Koi saturday ko office bulaye

Ek teri idea ko apna bataye,
Aur Ek tera target har month badhaye

Koi nature se gentle,
koi khoonkhar hota hai,
Par har ek boss zaruri hota hai.

Ek ghadi ghadi review kare par kabhi kabhi advice de
Ek kabhi kabhi review kare aur ghadi ghadi advice de

Koi Gyan ka ghoomta phirta satellite,
Koi din raat rakhe team ko tight;

Koi welcomed hai, koi forced hota hai
Par har ek boss zaruri hota hai

Koi bossy boss,
koi friendly boss
Koi Data crazy excel boss.
Koi Moody boss
koi gloomy boss
Early morning office aane wala Boss,
Koi late night jaane wala Boss

Koi promote na kare aur appraisal me tarsaye
Koi good suggestion ko bhi thukhraye

Koi best friend aur, koi aloof hota hai
Par har ek boss Zaroori hota hai !!
