Bolje biti pijan nego star

Kad pomislim na te
stara ljubavi
zao mi je sto smo bili
samo dobri drugovi
A, zivot leti, leti
mladost kraca je
sve ce jednom da se vrati
samo ona ostaje
Ref. 2x
Bolje biti pijan nego star
bolje biti pijan nego star
vino ne zna da smo nekad
bili sretni par
bolje biti pijan nego star
Kada dodje zima
i prve pahulje
cekacu te, moja Buco
kraj Prve gimnazije
A, neces, neces doci
znam te dobro, znam
mozda je i tako bolje
navik'o sam biti sam
