Ćihu, ćihu, ći hu hu
Ćihu, ćihu, ći hu hu
Ćihu, ćihu, ći hu hu

Iz kuće je izleteo
Na ulicu Iva,
Sav zadihan zahuhtao

K'o lokomotiva.

Iz kuće je izleteo
Na ulicu Iva,
Sav zadihan zahuhtao
K'o lokomotiva.

Ćihu, ćihu, ći hu hu
Ćihu, ćihu, ći hu hu
Ćihu, ćihu, ći hu hu
Ćihu, ćihu, ći hu hu

Videli ga drugovi,
Pa za njim i oni,
Otrčali, zahuhtali,
K'o pravi vagoni.

Videli ga drugovi,
Pa za njim i oni,
Otrčali, zahuhtali,
K'o pravi vagoni.

Sad ulicom tako juru
Ta čudna kolona,
To voz Ivin putuje
Sa sedam vagona.

Sad ulicom tako juru
Ta čudna kolona,
To voz Ivin putuje
Sa sedam vagona.
