(El quemao, el quemao, la historia del quemao, el quemao)
(Hello my name is Margarita, you wanna party?
(Hello you wanna a party? my name is Margarita
(Tequila!)
(el quemao, el quemao, la historia del quemao, el quemao)
Claro mala cuea dijo el conejo
Perdí casa, mina, queme la cocina
Y mi desgracia ele ahí no termina
Por una apuesta q gane, que wea (que wea)
Pero perdí porque ahora ya no tengo na'(tengo na')
Con su tía, el tomas, me tomé tres cortos al seco
Me emborraché y terminé en bronca con un sueco
No critico, solo quiero mi historia contar
Y nadie me obligó a tomar(aaaahh)
Pero como en toda historia a alguien tendré que culpar
Y la culpa es de quien?
Tequila!
Si quieres tomar tequila,
Se necesita limón y sal
Be careful with Margarita
Esa loca, she blows your mind
Si quieres tomar tequila,
Se necesita limón y sal
The party, nunca termina
Continues en el hospital
Mi vida consistía en dar alegría
Con la mejor intención visité a mi tía
Caí en la piscina, dopé a la vecina
Después ma' encima choqué en la esquina
Rápidamente llegó la mona (la mona!)
Ahora preso sin poder hacer na (hacer na)
Me eché pa' atra, y pensé, la cagué (uuups!)
Y pa peor la q choque era el juez
No critico, solo quiero mi historia contar
Y nadie me obligó a tomar
Pero como en toda historia a alguien tendré que culpar
Y la culpa es de quien?

Si quieres tomar tequila,
