భలే తాత మన బాపూజీ - బాలల తాతా బాపూజీ
బోసినవ్వుల బాపూజీ - చిన్నీ పిలక బాపూజీ
కుల మత బేధం వలదన్నాడు - కలిసి బతికితే బలమన్నాడు
మానవులంతా ఒకటన్నాడు - మనలో జీవం పోసాడు || భలే తాత ||
నడుం బిగించి లేచాడు - అడుగూ ముందుకు వేశాడు
కదం తొక్కుతూ పదం పాడుతూ - దేశం దేశం కదిలింది
గజగజలాడెను సామ్రాజ్యం - మనకు లభించెను స్వరాజ్యం || భలే తాత ||
సత్యాహింసలే శాంతి మార్గమని - జగతికి జ్యోతిని చూపించాడు
మానవ ధర్మం బోధించాడు - మహాత్ముడై ఇల వెలిశాడు || భలే తాత ||
starring Manchu Mohan Babu and Radha in lead roles.

భలే తాత మన బాపూజీ - బాలల తాతా బాపూజీ
బోసినవ్వుల బాపూజీ - చిన్నీ పిలక బాపూజీ
కుల మత బేధం వలదన్నాడు - కలిసి బతికితే బలమన్నాడు
మానవులంతా ఒకటన్నాడు - మనలో జీవం పోసాడు || భలే తాత ||
నడుం బిగించి లేచాడు - అడుగూ ముందుకు వేశాడు
కదం తొక్కుతూ పదం పాడుతూ - దేశం దేశం కదిలింది
