(Gato)
'Jue pucha por el repecho*
vienen llegando ya los ingleses,
dan gritos en una idioma
que naide entiende.
Apronten bien esos fierros,
naide se dueble.
Meneándoles sable siempre,
que a ellos les duele.
No entiendo por qué en formarse
los disgraciaus aura se entretienen,**
gritan como descosidos,
quién los entiende.
Toditos duros, parejos,
mirando al frente.
¡Qué los parió a los gringos,***
que se nos vienen!
* Alfredo Zitarrosa dice "Ahijuna por el repecho".
** Alfredo Zitarrosa dice "todos en fila ahora se entretienen".
*** Alfredo Zitarrosa dice "Qué los peló a los gringos".
