Muñeca, Muñequita papusa, que hablas con zeta,
Y que con gracia posta batis mishé,
Que con tus aspavientos de pandereta
Sos la milonguerita de más chiqué;
Trajeada de bacana bailas con corte
Y por raro esnobismo tomás frizzé,
Y que en un auto camba de sur a norte,
Paseas como una dama de gran cachet.
Che papusa,.. oí!
Los acordes melodiosos
Que modula el bandoneón;
Che papusa,.. oí!
Los latidos angustiosos
De tu pobre corazón.
Che papusa,.. oí!
Como surgen deste tango
Los pasajes de tu ayer...
Si entre el lujo del ambiente
Hoy te arrastra la corriente,
mañana te quiero ver...
Milonguerita linda, papusa y breva,
Con ojos almendrados de pipermín,(1)
De parla afranchutada, pinta maleva,
Y boca pecadora color carmín;
Engrupen tus alhajas en la milonga
Con fino faroleo brillanteril,(2)
Y al bailar esos tangos de meta y ponga
Volvés otario al vivo y al rana gil...
