Oigan, llegó el frutero
Con frutas de mi país
Casera, cómprame frutas
Que son ricas y para usted

También le traigo el rico mango
De bizcochuelo que es para usted
La piña blanca, la fruta bomba
Y el sabroso canistel

Oigan, llegó el frutero
Con frutas de mi país, de mi país, de mi país
Casera, cómprame frutas
Que son ricas y para usted

También le traigo el rico mango
De bizcochuelo que es para usted
La piña blanca, la fruta bomba
Y el sabroso canistel

(Mango, mango, mango, mango, mangüé)
Oye mangüé
Pero yo traigo el mango bizcochuelo que le gusta a usted
