Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ini lho ember ini lho keran ini lho air
Baru tahu ya

Diobok-obok airnya diobok-obok
Ada ikannya kecil-kecil pada mabok
Disemprot-semprot airnya disemprot-semprot
Kena mukaku aku jadi mandi lagi
Dingin-dingin dimandiin nanti masuk angin

Diobok-obok airnya diobok-obok
Ada ikannya kecil-kecil pada mabok
Diputar-putar kerannya diputar-putar
Kena mukaku aku jadi mandi lagi
Dingin-dingin dimandiin nanti masuk angin

Ada air hujan (rasanya tawar)
Ada air laut (rasanya asin)
Ada air susu (rasanya manis)
Itu untuk mimik mimik mimik mimik

Air ada banyak
Ada air mata ada mata air ada air minum
Minum air minum air minum air kembung

Diobok-obok airnya diobok-obok
Ada ikannya kecil-kecil pada mabok
Disemprot-semprot airnya disemprot-semprot
Kena mukaku aku jadi mandi lagi
Dingin-dingin dimandiin
Nanti masuk angin

Diobok-obok airnya diobok-obok
Ada ikannya kecil-kecil pada mabok
Diputer-puter kerannya diputer-puter
Kena mukaku aku jadi mandi lagi
Dingin-dingin dimandiin
Nanti masuk angin

Ada air hujan rasanya tawar
Ada air laut rasanya asin
Ada air susu rasanya manis
Itu untuk mimik mimik mimik mimik

Air ada banyak
Ada air mata ada mata air ada air minum
Minum air minum air minum air kembung

Diobok-obok airnya diobok-obok
Ada ikannya kecil-kecil pada mabok
Disemprot-semprot airnya disemprot-semprot
Kena mukaku aku jadi mandi lagi
Dingin-dingin dimandiin
Nanti masuk angin

Diobok-obok diobok-obok
Diobok-obok airnya (ademnya rek)

Diobok-obok diobok-obok
Diobok-obok airnya (adem tenan)

Diobok-obok diobok-obok
Diobok-obok airnya (brr)

Diobok-obok diobok-obok
Diobok-obok airnya (adem tenan iki)
