Από την πόρτα πώς να μπω; Για πες, καλή μου, πες; Τράβα μάνταλο μεμιάς, Να νιώσει η μάνα’ είν’ ο βοριάς, Για μπες, καλέ μου, μπες! Από το σκύλο πώς περνώ, Για πες, καλή μου, πες; Πες του λόγια όμορφα, Να πά’ να κάτσει ήσυχα, Για μπες, καλέ μου, μπες! Και τη φωτιά πώς διασκελώ, Για πες, καλή μου, πες; Βρέξε την με προσοχή, Να νιώσει η μάνα’ είν’ η βροχή, Για μπες, καλέ μου, μπες! Και τα σκαλιά πώς ν’ ανεβώ, Για πες, καλή μου, πες; Τα παπούτσια να κρατάς, Στον τοίχο ν’ αλαφροπατάς, Για μπες, καλέ μου, μπες!
