sve sam, sve sam, sve sam novce na te potrosio
na cu, na cu, na curice i mlade snas, snasice
poba, poba, pobac'o sam biser ogrlice
Ref. 2x
Oj, rakijo, krvopijo, ljubim tvoje ime
a ti velis, vjestice - u jarak sa njime
'Ajde, 'ajde, 'ajde diko, vod' me iz bir, iz birtije
pa ne, pa ne, pa neka se cili sor nasmije
ruka, ruka, rukama cu usput zgrtat, zgrtat blato
a ti, a ti, a ti psovat milo moje zlato
Ref. 2x
Ja cu, ja cu, ja cu glavom otvoriti, riti vrata
krstit, krstit, krstit ce se i mama i tata
ti ces, ti ces, ti ces kresat dragog, milog, milog svoga
i rod svinjski Sime pijanoga
Ref. 2x
Oj, rakijo
