Tagada
Adi Smolar · No Ja, Pa Kaj...
odkrito bom priznal: jaz sem le flegmatik.
Slovo sem dal telesnim in duševnim bojem,
naj se zgodi karkol, jaz mirno si zapojem:
TAGADAGADAGADA TAGADAGADA...
Ena mi je ženska srce ranila,
sem ljubil jo zelo, a me je zapustila,
a jaz nisem človek, ki zato bi stokal,
jaz pojem TAGADA namesto da bi jokal.
TAGADAGADAGADA TAGADAGADA...
Večkrat bil sem lačen, ko sem še študiral,
s štipendijo sem svojo lahko le hiral,
a jaz nisem človek, ki zaradi lakote tuli,
jaz pojem TAGADA, ko mi v želodcu kruli.
TAGADAGADAGADA TAGADAGADA...
Gledam poročila - same svinjarije,
ko prebiram časopise, zona me oblije,
a jaz nisem človek, ki se živcira,
jaz pojem TAGADA, ko se svet podira.
TAGADAGADAGADA TAGADAGADA...
Nas tarejo problemi, res ni jih malo,
pride dan ko misliš, da te bo kar pobralo,
stokaš in vzdihuješ: "Nikdar ne bo bolje"
Zapoj si TAGADA, pa boš boljše volje!
TAGADAGADAGADA TAGADAGADA...
TAGADAGADAGADA TAGADAGADA...
