Ya no solo el verdulero
con su canto matinal,
que nos despierta ofreciendo,
su mercancía especial.
Hoy lo imita el quinielero
con su promesa temprana,
diciendo que hay "vento"fresco
tres veces a la semana.
En su pregón el vocero
dice con tono formal.
¡Quinielero!
Patrona, ¿quiere jugar?...
Hoy en Córdoba tenemos
y mañana en Tucumán,
y para desquite el viernes
se juega la nacional...
Yo tanto lo llevo al cráneo
redoblona o escalera,
apúntese un numerito
y verá como es primera.
Si usted me acierta, le juro
patrona, que va a cobrar,
porque mi capitalista
es ventudo y es bacán.
Un forastero del norte
se levantó un capital
(cuando salió el cero siete)
pucha que nos tuvo mal.
Y todavía hay gilastros
que nos tiran a embocar,
sabiendo que es juego noble
¡que es industria nacional!
Y si no embocan ¡qué importa!
Yo les digo la verdad...
¡Ilusiones!
y alguna vez realidá,
y por último el consuelo
de aquel refrán decidor:
"El que anda mal en el juego
no erra una en el amor..."
