Kralj kafana
Ljuba Alicic · Other Songs - Ljuba Alicic
Niko ne zna kad se rodi
kud ce zivot da ga vodi
da, da, da, da, da, da
al' za mene Bog je rek'o
taj ce mali biti neko
da, da, da, da, da, da
Ref.
Uspeo sam, uspeo sam
kralj kafana postao sam
poklone i pice salju
svi mi kazu bravo, kralju
Na vrhuncu moje slave
zene ce mi doci glave
da, da, da, da, da, da
Krenulo me kao ludo
postao sam svetsko cudo
da, da, da, da, da, da
nikad bolje bilo nije
svi pitaju sta kralj pije
da, da, da, da, da, da
Ref.
U sto prvoj srce, stani
neka umrem u kafani
da, da, da, da, da, da
pevajte mi zadnjeg dana
ne radja se kralj kafana
kao ja, da, da, da
Ref.
