Moj pradjed je pucao iz topa

kako tu na meti stojim
crven sam k'o cvijece
sto u ruci nosim
priznajem da vec se bojim
Ref. 2x
A pradjed je moj pucao iz topa
gadjao Napoleona
a ja sam odmah ostao tropa
cim se pojavila ona
Izgubio sam prvu bitku u zivotu
moje se srce preda
zarobila ga brzo jedna divna zena
rastopi se poput meda
