Hej, mala, hej

imao sam namjeru da poljubac joj dam
pa kazem hej, mala hej
bi li htjela da te ja poljubim
A ona nije htjela poljubac da da
pogleda me mrko
okrene se i za trenutak dva pobjegla je trkom
vikao sam za njom mala hej
vikao sam mala hej
vikao sam mala hej
vikao sam vrati se
Kada sam je sutra sreo ostao sam paf
pored nje se nalazio namrsteni laf
rekla je taj, duso taj
taj je htio jucer da me poljubi
O Boze, on je htio nesto da mi da
gledao me mrko
okrenem se i za trenutak dva pobjego sam trkom
vikao je za mnom mali hej
vikao je mali hej
vikao je mali hej
vikao je vrati se
A ja se nisam vratio
Hej, mala, hej
