Pasuk echad nishma po bechol rega
Ubil’adav kasheh mamash lazuz,
Pasuk tzva’ei politi estrategi
Hu hapasuk al dvar ha’otobus.

Kol ish ve’ish hayom yode’a ma zeh
Im bli mazal nolad eizeh tipus,
Einam omrim lo: shma ata shlimazalcha,
Omrim: Echarti Et Ha’otobus.

Mizeh yotzeh shehamazal
Zeh lo chamor velo gamal
Velo rakevet velo sus
Ela davka otobus.
