The lyrics of Asha Bhosle's version of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" are a playful mix of the original lyrics and impromptu phrases added by the singer. The song starts with the familiar lyrics of the children's nursery rhyme, expressing wonder and curiosity about the shining star in the sky. However, after a few repetitions, Bhosle interjects with new lines, teasingly calling the listener a "fool" and commenting on the folly of youth and love. The singer then playfully switches to a new tune and introduces the lyrics of "Jack and Jill," but again deviates from the expected with surreal and humorous lines about whiskey and cigarettes.
Overall, this version of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" seems to be less about conveying a coherent message or narrative and more about having fun with the music and words. Bhosle's mischievous laughter and free-flowing improvisations suggest a playful, carefree mood that is infectious and enjoyable for the listener.
