Son Montuno

Alto songo, se quema la maya, alto songo
¡Qué venga la bomba, la bomba de el cerro!
La sonora matancera
Chapottin y rumbavana
Son los grupos donde planas
Demostró su voz sonera
En el son reto a cualquiera
Con métrica y voz potente
Y celia cruz (que está austente)
Confimará lo que digo
Que no te engañen mi amigo
Si hay son, planas está presente
Me llaman el mentiroso
Eso me ha heco popular
Y a la hora de cantar
Soy simpático y gracioso
Con mis guarachas y gozo
Aunque siempre cante solo
Mi voz ha llegado al polo
Tan fuerte como una ceiba
Y si canta pio leyva
Baila hasta el cojo manolo
Con un marañon que aprieta
Y 'el paso de bibuiagua'
Mi voz se escucha en las quaguas
Plazas, salones y glorietas
Manuel licea respeta la música bien estrica
Y en mi corazón se agita
Mi canto con julio cuevas
Donde con malicia nueva
Me pusieron puntillita, puntillita
Hoy canto por lo que veo
Con cantantes renombrados
Mas no estoy acobardado
Porque yo soy un 'maceo'
Y aunque contar no sea un paseo
Cantar con tantos soneros
Tengo un pico majadero
De san antonio a maisí
Cantando voy por ahí
Y hay que quitarse el sombrero
¡Como, ry cooder!
