Bunga seroja ah ah
Hiasan sanggul remaja
Puteri remaja
Rupa yang elok
Di manja jangan dimanja ah ah
Puja lah ia
Mengapa kau bermenung
Oh adik berhati binggung
Mengapa kau bermenung
Oh adik berhati binggung
Jangan kau percaya asmara dengan asmara
Jangan kau percaya asmara dengan asmara
Sekarang bukan bermenung zaman bermenung
Sekarang bukan bermenung zaman bermenung
Marilah kita bersama memetik bunga
Marilah kita bersama memetik bunga
Mari menyusun seroja
Bunga seroja ah ah
Hiasan sanggul remaja
Puteri remaja
Rupa yang elok
Di manja jangan dimanja ah ah
Puja lah ia
Sekadar sekadar saja
Mengapa kau bermenung
Oh adik berhati binggung
Mengapa kau bermenung
Oh adik berhati binggung
Jangan kau percaya asmara dengan asmara
Jangan kau percaya asmara dengan asmara
Sekarang bukan bermenung zaman bermenung
Sekarang bukan bermenung zaman bermenung
Marilah kita bersama memetik bunga
