Pusti price, zivot zivi

Nit se moze bez vretena presti
niti sokak bez komsijskih briga
nit moj dragi jade da ne stvara
naljuti me pa me zagovara

Ref.
Pusti price, zivot zivi
meni nije do njih stalo
dosta mi je svojih briga
jer zivi se tako malo
jer zivi se tako malo

Nema price bez sokaka, nema
niti kuce gde se ne sapuce
samo da znas, ma koliko skriv'o
gde god suska ima nesto zivo

Ref.

Man' se, dragi, veselja i casa
man' se casa, cura i pajtasa
budi sa mnom od jutra do mraka
pa se ne boj price sa sokaka

Ref.
