Just behind the Prison of Stratona
They beat up a mangas in the basement
Just behind the Prison of Stratona
They beat up a mangas in the basement
Then this cop comes in with a gun
And puts a bullet through our narghilé
Then this cop comes in with a gun
Puts a bullet through our narghilé
And the fez, the fez rolled off
Our narghilé got snuffed out on the floor
And the fez, the fez rolled off
Our narghilé got snuffed out on the floor
But she lights it up again, Kiriakoula
She has hash in joints stashed away
But she lights it up again, Kiriakoula
She has hash in joints stashed away
Cheers to you our bow-legged Mitso
You got stoned on a roomful of smoke
Cheers to you our bow-legged Mitso
You got stoned on a roomful of smoke
