Imala je lijepu rupicu na bradi

ali nije bila kao druge
pa je ljubav, kao uvijek slijepa
zbog nje razne prelazila pruge
Nije bila osobito moja
ovo malo dovoljno mi znaci
ta je bila drugacijeg soja
grizuci se mi smo bili jaci
Ref.
Imala je lijepu rupicu na bradi
znala je da grebe, znala je da gladi
imala je lijepu rupicu na bradi
drhtali smo slozno smeteni i mladi
Imala je lijepu rupicu na bradi
znala je da prede, znala da se svadi
imala je lijepu rupicu na bradi
rupicu na bradi
Nije bila osobito luda
ali ja sam dizao taj prosjek
cinio sam zbog nje razna cuda
milovao i prije i poslije
Nije bila osobito njezna
ljutila se u nekakve sate
ali mi je bila neizbjezna
u te sate sto u glavu mlate
Ref.
