El Rey Del Cabaret

Era un mozo bacán y arrogante
Bien peinado al Coty y con gomina
Por el cual se trenzaban las minas
Mendigando una frase de amor
Le llamaban rey de la milonga
Y mujer que pasó por su lado
En sus brazos de niño mimado
Sin esfuerzo ninguno cayó
Rey del cabaret
Rey sin corazón
Las mujeres te perdieron
Con su torpe adoración
Rey del cabaret
Vivís sin amor
Y por tu alma pasa siempre
Una sombra de dolor
Pero al fin se cruzó en su camino
Una paica de gran entereza
A quien no dominó su belleza
Y esa fue la que a todas vengó
El calor de la marca de fuego
Transformó su capricho en cariño
Y aquel taita lloró como un niño
Mendigando una frase de amor
Rey del cabaret
¡Cómo la querés!
¿A qué andás disimulando
Si olvidarla no podés?
Rey del cabaret
Sufrís por amor
Y hoy sentís en tu alma herida
Los pinchazos del dolor
