Voy a tocar una rumba y mi cuero a sonar
El rey del ritmo ahora
El bravo del Guaguancó
Mi ritmo ya está tocando
Y mi güiro ya empezó
Salsero soy yo
Ritmo de África
Invita a bailar
Salsero soy yo
Bailen mujeres
Ritmo de África
Invita a bailar
(Bailen mujeres)
(Bailen mujeres)
(Bailen mujeres) Para que bailen, para que bailen la rumba caliente
(Bailen mujeres) Salsero soy, salsero soy, caballeros
(Bailen mujeres) Cuídense los lobos de esa baraña
(Bailen mujeres) Buen mazacote, buen mazacote pa′ las mujeres
(Bailen mujeres) Al son que le tocan baila la nana
(Bailen mujeres) Para que bailen, para que bailen, para que gocen, mujeres
(Bailen mujeres) Que bueno baila la negra Mercedes

(Ahora le toca a usted) Dime si la rumba está a más de un pie
