Sobre un zaino colorao
Era una nube ligera
Praciador y coscojero
Buena pinta y bien cortado
Por sus hazañas mentao
Era el zaino de mi flor
Todos le tenían temor
Pero amigo en las cuadreras
Ganó más de cien carreras
Y nunca fue perdedor
Y como era de importancia
Lucía mi parejero
De oro y plata un buen apero
El mejor que había en la estancia
Y a juzgar por su elegancia
No parecía lo que era
Más cuando entraba en carrera
Se oyó decir más de un pillo
Voy doble contra sencillo
¡Voy al zaino aunque me muera!
Pero dijo un comisario
Que a mi zaino colorao
Me lo había envenenao
Un político contrario
Y por aquel comentario
Solito y triste quedé
Y amigazo ya me ve
Lamentando el parejero
Es regala o es la pega
Y desde entonces ando de a pie
