Mire amigo que va a contramano
No le hable a esa chica que se va a perder
Con cuidado que atrás va la vieja
Y de vuelta y media me lo va a poner
No le hable a esa otra que pasa
Que tiene un marido que es calabrés
Y el garrote de los tallarines
Sobre sus espaldas lo va a hacer caer
Salió a contramano
Mi amigo, al nacer
Por eso que todo
Le sale al revés
Cuidao, cuidao com esa piba
Que se puede "refalar"
Cuidao con esa atropellada
Que está dura de pelar
Cuidao, no vaya tan ligero
Porque puede tropezar
Cuidao no vaya a contramano
Porque lo van a cachar
Si en la vida cayó a contramano
Y quiere que todo le salga muy bien
Yo le doy un consejo de hermano
Que todo lo que haga, lo haga al revés
Si le agrada una chica muy linda
Engrupa a la vieja primero y, después
Como ella es canchera y le gusta
Con la misma vieja, hay nomás, préndase
Salió a contramano
Mi amigo, al nacer
Por eso que todo
Le sale al revés
