Que gente averigua camara y nunca me han dao nah Bis
Que si me pongo un pantalón
y una camisa con remiendos
se ponen a decir,
que lo que pasa es que
yo tengo casi todo mi dinero metido en un barril
por la avenia e sabana grande
se echaron a reír
y le tiraban trompetines
a un tazón que yo llevaba de los tiempos
e quintin
Se repite
