khelo khilalo bacho ko bahlalo
tut jaye kha lo
do aane me ye gentleman
lo aaya joni lalten lo aaya joni lalten
lo aaya joni lalten lo aaya joni lalten
hey hey ho ho ha ha

karigar karigar lo aaya joni karigar
bacho ko bahlane wala putle roz banane wala
karigar karigar lo aaya joni karigar
karigar ek hai upar wala is duniya ka banane wala
karigar ek mai hu bacho dekho mera khel nirala
karigar karigar lo aaya joni karigar
bacho ko bahlane wala putle roz banane wala
karigar karigar lo aaya joni karigar

mere putle kabhi kisi ko thaga nahi karte hai
maal paraya chakh kar ke ye daga nahi karte hai
uske putle upar gore bhitar se dil kala kala
uske putle upar gore bhitar se dil kala kala
karigar karigar lo aaya joni karigar
bacho ko bahlane wala putle roz banane wala
karigar karigar lo aaya joni karigar

wafadar hai kitne ye ban jate hai barobar
inse sikho zara khade hona apne pairo par
inki rah par chalo to bacho jivan me ho jaye ujala
inki rah par chalo to bacho jivan me ho jaye ujala
karigar karigar lo aaya joni karigar
bacho ko bahlane wala putle roz banane wala
karigar karigar lo aaya joni karigar

Playthings, trinkets, a child's fleeting glee,
Shatter and savor, the cost, two coins, you see.
Here comes Johnny Lantern, his light in the night,
Johnny Lantern arrives, a beacon so bright.
He ho ho ha ha

Craftsman, craftsman, Johnny the maker, is here,
To amuse the young, with puppets held dear.
Craftsman, craftsman, Johnny the maker, we hail,
One craftsman above, who made this world's trail.
One craftsman am I, watch my wonder unfold,
Craftsman, craftsman, Johnny the maker, bold.
To amuse the young, with puppets to hold.
Craftsman, craftsman, Johnny the maker, of old.

My puppets, they'd never deceive with their art,
Never betray, tasting what's not their heart.
His puppets are fair, yet within, hearts are grim,
His puppets are fair, and within hearts grow dim.
Craftsman, craftsman, Johnny the maker, he's here,
To amuse the young, with puppets held dear.
Craftsman, craftsman, Johnny the maker, we hail.

Faithful they stand, equals they seem,
Learn from them, children, to stand and to dream.
Follow their path, and in life, light will gleam,
Follow their path, and in life, light will stream.
Craftsman, craftsman, Johnny the maker, is here,
To amuse the young, with puppets held dear.
Craftsman, craftsman, Johnny the maker, we hail.
