In Kipling's Court - The Jungle Book

Everyone loves to be nostalgic, and I for one get really nostalgic, today while on one of the forums came across a song which had become a craze back in my school days. Chaddi Pahen ke phool khila hai.... (Chuckles), now i bet you get the drift, its the Jungle Book. Back in the days of Doordarshan, kids didn't had the luxory of bunch of dedicated 24 hour cartoon channels, and we had to make do with weekely dose of cartoons on sunday morning at 10 am. Many a series were telecasted back then but one which got everybody hooked up was The Jungle Book. I had scene the Jungle Book Movie and had a paper back kiddie version of the Kipling's classic, But seeing it episode wise week after week was like a cult following. Week after week, just loved the way story unflurred. It maybe Kipling's magical writing that made The Jungle Book so popular world over, but in India, the credit for it huge success also goes to its tittle track. It became very popular and for the first time, even the grownups knew or used to mouth a track of a cartoon series, it was just phenomenal. Here is a tribute to that ever green track....

Jungle Jungle Baat chali hai, Pata chala hai....
Jungle Jungle Baat chali hai, Pata chala hai....,
Arre chaddi pahen ke phool khila hai..... phool khila hai...,
Arre chaddi pahen ke phool khila hai..... phool khila hai...,
Jungle Jungle Baat chali hai,
chaddi pahen ke phool khila hai.... phool khila hai....

Ek Parinda hai sharminda... Tha woh nanga,
arre isse to ande ke andar... tha woh changa,
Soch raha hai bahar akhir kyon nikla hai,
Arre chaddi pahen ke phool khila hai..... phool khila hai...,
Jungle Jungle Baat chali hai, chaddi pahen ke phool khila hai.... phool khila hai.
