Like many Amman folk songs, the Pangkor Kaliamman lyrics use a lead singer and chorus. Typical responses include:
நீயே சர்வாதிகாரி நீயே தாயும் தந்தையும்
Note: Because "Pangkor Kaliamman" is a folk tradition, lyrics vary by village and recording artist. Below is a widely recognized version from the Malaysian/Tamil Nadu folk circuit.
