Παντρεύουνε τον κάβουρα

Listen

Original Lyrics

Παντρεύουνε τον κάβουρα

Παντρεύουνε τον κάβουρα ω ω ω 
και του δίνουν τη χελώνα
ντράγκα-ντρούγκα τά ’ργανα, ωρέ τά ’ργανα.

καλέσαν και τον πόντικα τα συμβόλαια να γράψει
καλέσαν το σκαντζόχοιρο γιέμ τα στέφανα ν’ αλλάξει
καλέσαν και το τζίτζικα για να παίξει το βιολί του
καλέσαν και το γάϊδαρο για να πάει να τραγουδήσει
καλέσαν και το μέρμηγκα τα προικιά να κουβαλήσει
καλέσαν και την αλεπού γιέμ τις κότες να μαδήσει
καλέσαν και το βάτραχο το νερό να κουβαλήσει.
