Apurate niño que esta haciendo mucho calor.
Cuando baja el sol ay viene el viejo,
Corre o tu mama te va a encontrar.
El coo cooi!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha huh! Cooi!
Lo que te dijo tu abuelita,
Te va a tratar de cojer de adeveras?
Si no te portas bien te va a cochar,
Te va a coger why te va a dar unos bachones.
El coo cooi, el coo cooi,
El coo cooi, el coo cooi.
El coo cooi, el coo cooi,
El coo cooi, el coo cooi.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha huh! Cooi!
Todos los niños están jugando en la calle,
Apurate niño que esta haciendo mucho calor.
Cuando baja el sol ay viene el viejo,
Corre o tu mama te va a encontrar.
El coo cooi, el coo cooi,
El coo cooi, el coo cooi.
El coo cooi, el coo cooi,
El coo cooi, el coo cooi.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha... huh! Cooi!
