"Lapak jhapak tu aare badarwaa" from the film 'Boot Polish' (1953).

This is supposed to be a comedy song sung by a lesser actor 
in the movie, and comedy is sought to be introduced by singing 
a semi classical song.

Under such circumstances, Manna Dey was the singer to turn to. 
And Manna Dey was, who sang this song.This song based on 
raag Darbari kanada in carnatic music is brilliantly sung by 
Manna Dey.The singer has combined the elements of rasa (style) 
and hasya (humour) with elan. Composed in the style of a raagmala 
(multiple ragas strung together) from the Kanada and Malhar 
families, the song combines the stoic tradition of classical music to 
evoke a hilarious result. 

But as things stand now, this song, that was there to provide 
comic relief to the audience is perhaps the most remembered 
part of this movie.This song has indeed effortlessly entered into 
the hall of fame of immortal Bolywood songs. Such a classical 
magic with such comic lyrics so well performed by David & Co  
in the film.


The lyrics were written by Shailendra and the music was 
composed by Shankar Jaikishan. And their collaboration 
with Manna Dey led to this unforgettable song. And it is 
difficult to believe that this song is 67 years old. This song 
still sounds as fresh and refreshing as it has always sounded.

लपक जपक तू आ रे बदरवा...
सर की खेती सूख रही है
बरस बरस तू आ रे बदरवा...

झगड़ झगड़ कर पानी ला तू
अकड़ अकड़  बिजली चमका तू
तेरे घड़े में पानी नहीं तो
पनघट से भर ला
रे बदरवा   ...

बन में कोयल कूक उठी है
सब के मन में हूक उठी है
भूदल से तू बाल उगा दे
झट पट तू बरसा
रे बदरवा...
