Che jirafa, sos el rey de los caretas,
la vivís siempre de arriba
y en cualquir lao te colás,
perdoná que me deschave
y te cante las cuarenta,
pero viejo..., con vos no se puede más.
Los amigos ya te han dado bien la cana,
que te hacés el mortadela
a la hora de morfar
y es por eso, che milonga,
que si no cambiás de rumbo,
los muchachos pronto te van a gritar.
Cara rota..! que no te perdés ni una cuando hay algo de garrón,
Cara rota..! que en tu vida no has pagado ni por equivocación,
Garronero..! que aparecés de improviso a la hora de morfar,
Cara rota..! conseguí un nuevo acomodo porque te van a largar.
Che jirafa, te invitás siempre vos solo,
no hay milonga ni casorio donde no te entreverés,
con tu cara de cemento, soportás que todos digan
que careta, cuando se irá de una vez?
Che atorrante,
vos sos una cosa seria,
empezá a hacer el bagayo
y rajá lejos de aquí,
que si no querés que pronto,
hasta los pibes del barrio,
al junarte te canten todos así
Cara rota..! que no te perdés ni una cuando hay algo de garrón,
Cara rota..! que en tu vida no has pagado ni por equivocación,
Garronero..! que aparecés de improviso a la hora de morfar,
Cara rota..! conseguí un nuevo acomodo porque te van a largar.
