Nagising sa pawis ko,
Di kinaya ng bentilador, basa ang unan, pati ang kumot,
Parang umihi sa kama kohhh!
Ibang klase pag tanghali,
Di ka lalabas sa kalye.
Ulo? y iinit, mukha? y papangit
Masusunog kasusungit!
(chorus)
Syet sobrang init! abot singit! (4x)
Kelan kaya magkakapera,
Nang mapa-aircon na ang sala
Kahit maligo, ka parati
Malagkit pa rin ang kili-kili
(chorus)
Wala kong pampalit, ay naloko na?(15x)
(chorus)
Tumutulo pawis ko, (12x)
Syettt! ang init!(3x)
