Los Cocodrilos
Grupo Exterminador Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bueno pues, ahí está su carga y váyanse con mucho cuidado
No te preocupes, vámonos, mi Vale
Vámonos, compa

Uno, venía de Morelia, el otro de Navolato
Salieron de madrugada, después de cerrar el trato
Cuánta traían nadie sabe, pero dicen que era un guato
Échese un buen aliviane y un traguito pa′ que aguante
Cuando se sienta cansado, no'más me suelta el volante
¿Acaso no es cocodrilo? No dudo que se me canse

Guarde el papelito, compa, más al ratito le echamos
Se nos pegó una patrulla, no′más la vengo espejeando
Si nos para le aseguro, no se la andan acabando

No se me ponga nervioso, pa' no despertar sospechas
Todo está bien preparado, por unas manos expertas
Le aseguro que este clavo, ningún perro no' la encuentra

Exterminador

Yo no me pongo nervioso y le voy a demostrar
Que los hombres michoacanos, no nos sabemos rajar
Escogí un gallo muy fino, que lo venga a acompañar

Ya no se ve la patrulla, cuando quiera nos lo echamos
Ahí disculpe la molestia, oiga, amigo michoacano
Présteme su periquito, ya que lo trae en la mano

Ya casi vamos llegando, a la frontera, mi amigo
Hay que amarrarnos el pamper, yo sé porque se lo digo
Si no vamos a mojarnos, de la cintura al tobillo

Saludos para Morelia, Mochis y Badiraguato




Un saludo a la plebada, ya llegamos con el guato
Soy de mero Michoacán, y yo soy de Navolato
