Hej, becari
Kico Slabinac · Other Songs - Kico Slabinac
gdje je vino da se pije
Gdje su cure gdje su snase
da natoce prazne case
Iju, ijuju, nemoj, mala, da cuju
da ne sazna tvoja mati
da si meni rekla dati
da si meni rekla dati
tri dukata ispod vrata
Sorom sajke, a svemirom Lajke
ja sam becar jedini u majke
ne zna becar za nikakve muke
dok mu cure ravnaju jastuke
Hej, becari i bekrije
iz te ravne Slavonije
o, moj sore usoreni
nece becar da se zeni
Na sporetu prigorilo ulje
dok mi cura peglala kosulje
cure ljubim, zadirkujem snase
samo one koje se ne plase
Hej, becari
