Drugovi se moji zene
jedan za drugim
a ja zbog nje u kafani
pijem dan gubim

Ref.
Kupi majku vencanicu
da je nosim njoj
spasi sina pijanicu
spasi zivot moj

Drugovi se moji zene
vreme prolazi
a ja zbog nje iz kafane
zadnji izlazim

Ref.

Drugovi se pred oltarom
moji zaklinju
a ja zbog nje
u kafani pijem rakiju

Ref.
