Ya prodayu kvytky na blazniv ta fakiriv,
Na merechtinnya lamp, na chychotinnya mavp.
O, vlasnyky hroshey z oblychchyamy vampiriv,
dlya vas i vashych dam – parad u styli "vamp". (ostanni 2 ryadky – 2)

Ot akrobatky Le lypke lyskuche tilo
Zvyvayet'sya v kilce, dostotu niby vuz.
A ot figlyar Vendetto – yak tonko, yak umilo
Protne vin vas nozamy pid orkestrovyi tush!

Odnak lyshe na myt' (vivat, panove smertni!):
Usich vas ozyvyt' na hrani chornych tayn
Pryborkuvach syren, kentavriv, perevertniv,
Hipnotyzer i duch Azvil de Frankenshtayn.

I shcho pochnet'sya tut? Shyzofrenichni tanci
Bankiriv i poviy, hrafyn i riznykiv!
O, vlasnyky zyttya, o, pavuky u shklyanci,
Dlya vas nervovyi vals, az pina z yazykiv. (ostanni 2 ryadky – 2)

Pirotechnichnyi shal i dymovi zavisy –
Ce tilky zzovni cyrk, a v hlybyni pit'ma!
I v niy nemaye dna! – chernyci ta hulvisy
Vlitayut' u tunel, zatyahnuti storchma...
