Old Bazaar Boogie:
Old Bazaar in Skopje's heart,
I took a stroll, played a part.

From old bazaar's charm to city's cheer,
Skopje's laughter's always near.

Macedonia Square, so grand and bright,
I joined the crowd, what a sight.
But then I tripped on a loose stone,

In Skopje, joy's no surprise.
From square's grand charm to city's light,
Macedonia Square's laughter's pure delight.

Millennium Cross, views so wide,
I took a lift, hat in hand.
But then I tripped on narrow stair,
And nearly tumbled through the air!
The tourists laughed and helped me rise,
In Skopje, joy's no surprise.
From cross's height to city's cheer,
Millennium Cross's charm is always near.
