Compadrito a la violeta
Si te viera Juan Malevo
Que calor te haría pasar
No tenés siquiera un cacho
De ese barro chapaleado
Por los mozos del lugar
El escudo de los guapos
No te cuenta entre sus gules
Por razones de valer
Tus ribetes de compadre
Te engrupieron, no lo dudes
Ya sabrás por que!
Compadrón
Prontuariado de vivillo
Entre los
Amigotes que te siguen
Sos pa' mi, aunque te duela
Compadre sin escuela, retazo de bacán
Compadrón
Cuando quedes viejo y solo
(Colo)
Compadrón
Y remanyes tu retrato
(Gato)
Notaras que nada has hecho
Tu berretín deshecho
Veras desmoronar
En la timba de la vida
Sos un punto sin arrastre
Sobre el naipe salidor
Y en la cancha de este mundo
Sos un débil pal biabazo
El chamuyo y el amor
Aunque busques en su verba
Pintorescos contraflores
Pa' munirte de cachet
Yo me digo a la sordina
Dios te ayude, Compadrito
De papel mache
