Haai ek is tog te oulik
met my bakkies blink poleer
whatever jy verdien, ek verdien tog meer
en ek maak my bek oop
elke kans wat ek kry
want ek is so belangrik
die wêreld moet weet van my
Hier kom die gemmerbroodman
hy's 'n selfvoldane kalant
maar oppas my ou maat
want die ou spreekwoord praat
elke boontjie kry sy loon
jy gaan maklik terug in die oond
o die gemmerbroodman ...
Haai ek is tog te oulik
elke spieël sê dit vir my
en as ek iets wil hê sal
my bestuurder dit vir my kry
my naam in goue letters
maak seker dis reg gespel
daar gaan my foon alweer
dis Rapport wat my bel
Want ek is die gemmerbroodman
almal hou van my
van Gobabis tot in Bethlehem
en tot onder in die Kaap
ek is die gemmerbroodman
almal hou van my
ek tel my geld in die nag
as al die ander mense slaap
Haai ek is tog te oulik
ek kan al die wyse manne kwoteer
al het ek eintlik nie 'n clue
ons moet almal probeer
en as dit nie wil werk nie
dan sal ek jou gou vertel
van hoe baie geld ek gemaak het
en wie onder my vriende tel
hier kom die gemmerbroodman ...
