Y Tú Qué
Bacilos Lyrics

Y tú qué
Y tú qué
Y tú qué
Y tú qué

Ella esta bailando sola
Quiere bailar contigo
Ella sabe lo que quiere
Aunque que sea solo un ratito

Y tú qué, y tú qué, yo no sé por qué
Tú sigues ahí parado, sin saber ni que hacer
Y tú qué, y tú qué, y tú qué
Muévete compadre, no te lo digo otra vez

La la la
Intimidado por la mujer
La la la la
De espaldas contra la pared

Mira como ella te mira
Y tú qué
La paciencia se le acaba
Y tú qué
A lo mejor ella te ataca
Y tú qué
No te hace falta otro trago
Y tú qué

Y tú qué, y tú qué, yo no sé por qué
Tú sigues ahí parado, sin saber ni que hacer
Y tú qué, y tú qué, y tú qué
Muévete compadre, no te lo digo otra vez

La la la
Intimidado por la mujer
La la la la
De espaldas contra la pared

Y tú qué
Y tú qué
Y tú qué
Y tú qué
