ah moj lepi dobri Janos
zvezdice, mesec pun
zelim opet u taj varos
Budapest, Budapest
zveckaj meni crnim cizmicama
takni me, makni me nedostizni moj
(2x)
Ref.
Jao, jao, jao, Janos, Janos
daj da opet igram cardas, cardas
nek me boli svaka kost
neka umrem ti na rukama
Ako salim se, Janos ubi me
ako ne salim, tad poljubi me
udri zicu G zagolicaj mi sve
Jao, jao, sto te volim, volim
pa ne mogu da odolim, dolim
neka udari me grom
nek me stigne trista djavola
Ako salim se, Janos ubi me
ako ne salim, tad poljubi me
udri zicu G zagolicaj mi sve
Seretem, Seretem
ah moj lepi dobri Janos
zvezdice, mesec pun
zelim opet u taj varos
Budapest, Budapest
zveckaj meni crnim cizmicama
takni me, makni me nedostizni moj
Ref.
Jao, jao, jao, Janos, Janos
cardas, cardas
Janos, Janos
hoj-ra, hoj-ra
