Pálido, triste, maltrecho
Un andrajo parecía
Llegó cuando anochecía
Al barrio, buscando techo
Quien sabe dentro del pecho
Que tragedias le mordía
Que cayó al pie de un balcón
Manoteando el corazón
Y Lechuza por su mal
Oyó que cantaban tras esa canal
Como un graznido
Que el aire cruza
Ahí va Lechuza
Rumbo al olvido
Su vida ha sido
Triste y sombría
Cual agonía
Que arrastrando va
La muchachada
De rompe y raja
Se fue a baraja
Ya derrotada
Hoy su barriada
Cambió de traje
Y el malevaje
Trabajando está
Y al callar la voz fatal
Lechuza besaba la cruz de un puñal
Cuando apuntó el día nuevo
Ya estaba echada su suerte
Lo halló desangrado inerte
Un botón que iba a relevo
¡Era el último malevo!
Que se iba con rumbo a la muerte¡
Y cayó al pie del balcón
Y al callar la voz fatal
Lechuza besaba la cruz de un puñal
