Selma...
Putuje na fakultet.
Ona putuje, ja kofer nosim, molim,
Te?ak je al' po?to njen je lično,
Ja i taj kofer volim. 

Selma, Selma, zdravo, Selma,
Putuj, Selma...
I molim te, ne naginji se kroz prozor. 

Selma...
Na ulasku you voz ti htjedoh reć'
Ne?to nje?no, ?to izaziva pozor,
Al' rekoh samo zdravo, Selma
I molim te ne naginji se kroz prozor
