Bailarín Compadrito

Vestido como dandy, peinao a la gomina
Y dueño de una mina más linda que una flor
Bailás en la milonga con aire de importancia
Luciendo la elegancia y haciendo exhibición
Cualquiera iba a decirte, che, reo de otros tiempos
Que un día llegarías a rey de cabaret
Que pa' enseñar tu corte pondrías academia
Al taura siempre premia la suerte que es mujer
Bailarín compadrito
Que floriaste tu corte primero
En el viejo bailongo orillero
De Barracas al sur
Bailarín compadrito
Que quisiste probar otra vida
Y al lucir tu famosa corrida
Te viniste al Maipú
Araca, cuando a veces oís La Cumparsita
Yo sé cómo palpita tu cuore al recordar
Que un día lo bailaste de lengue y sin un mango
Y ahora el mismo tango bailás hecho un bacán
Pero algo vos darías por ser solo un ratito
El mismo compadrito del tiempo que se fue
Pues cansa tanta gloria y un poco triste y viejo
Te ves en el espejo del loco cabaret
