3. INJIT-INJIT SEMUT
Jalan jalan ke Tanah Deli
Sungguh indah tempat tamasya
Kawan jangan bersedih
Mari nyanyi bersama sama
Kalau pergi ke Surabaya
Naik prahu dayung sendiri
Kalau hatimu sedih
Ya rugi diri sendiri
Naik prahu ke Pulau Sribu
Sungguh malang nasibku
Punya teman diambil orang
Ramai sungguh Bandar Jakarta
Tempat orang mengikat janji
Walau teman tak punya hati
Senang dapat bernyanyi
