Te acordás que fue en domingo
Que te vi por vez primera
Después de aquella carrera
Que yo gané con mi pingo
Se bailaba en lo del gringo
El puestero del bañao
Yo te miraba embobao
Como zorro en gallinero
Cuando gritó el bastonero
Pa' tuitos! Gato polqueao
Yo te dije con temores
Diga moza, ¿me acompaña?
Vos retrucaste con maña
Como no! De mil amores
Vos revoleaste las flores
De tu pollera escarlata
Yo empecé a menear la pata
Y uno de tantos mirones
Dijo: Voy diez patacones
Al de las tabas de plata
Terminó el gato polqueao
Se sentaron las parejas
Y en un rincón varias viejas
Hablaban de lo pasao
Y yo que estaba a tu lao
Haciéndome el inocente
Te di un beso y de ripente
Y una vieja oyó el chasquido
Y dijo: Gaucho atrevido
Ya ni respeta que hay gente!
Lindo tiempo aquel canejo
Cuando entuavía me amabas
Y a los bailongos llegabas
En ancas de mi azulejo
Ya solo queda el riflejo
De tantos lindos domingos
Te casaron con un gringo
Que tenía mucha plata
Pero... Esa carrera, ñata
Ya la había ganao mi pingo
