Pevao sam s' pijanima
kockao se s' kockarima
dobijao i gubio
voleo sam, voljen bio

Ref. 2x
Dva zivota jos da imam
zenama bih oba dao
pa nek' umrem kao prosjak
nece meni biti zao

Radio sam sta sam hteo
i poroke sve voleo
nek' je malo, nek' je mnogo
al' bez zena nisam mog'o

Ref. 2x

Andjeli kad dodju beli
da me vode putem neba
i oni ce da mi kazu
ziveo si kako treba

Ref. 2x
