Deda babu gleda
a baba mu ne da
deda babu gleda
a baba mu ne da
deda babu gleda
a baba mu ne da
ne da, ne da da je
samo gleda
Vidi baba, vidi dedu
sta mu fali, sta nije u redu
svi vrsnjaci za njega su spori
stigao bi i zeca u gori
Nije deda, nije bre
nije isto kao pre
od zeca iz grma
ne drma se suma
(2x)
Ref. 2x
Vidi baba, vidi dedu
na izlozbu dedu da povedu
hoce deda da te gleda
ima deda za te sladoleda
Nije deda, nije bre
nije isto kao pre
na suncu si mnogo bio
sladoled se istopio
(2x)
Ref. 2x
