Gde ste sada prijatelji moji

al' ne vazi to za mene
dzepovi su moji prazni
nemam banke prebijene
ej, nemam banke prebijene
Ref.
Gde ste sada prijatelji moji
kad u dzepu ja dinara nemam
niko vise od vas se ne javlja
zar se tako prijatelj ostavlja
Prijatelja bese mnogo
sto su na moj racun pili
kad bez para ja ostadoh
svi me redom ostavili
ej, svi me redom ostavili
Ref.
Al' doci ce bolji dani
bice para i veselja
sam za stolom ja cu piti
sam bez laznih prijatelja
ej, sam bez laznih prijatelja
Ref.
