¡Maldito seas, Palermo!
Me tenés seco y enfermo,
mal vestido y sin morfar,
porque el vento los domingos
me patino con los pingos
en el Hache Nacional.
Pa' buscar al que no pierde
me atraganto con la Verde
y me estudio el pedigré
y a pesar de la cartilla
largo yo en la ventanilla
todo el laburo del mes.
Berretines que tengo con los pingos,
metejones de todos los domingos...
Por tu culpa me encuentro bien fané...
¡Qué le voy hacer, así debe ser!
Ilusiones del viejo y de la vieja
van quedando deshechas en la arena
por las patas de un tungo roncador...
¡Qué le voy hacer si soy jugador!
Palermo, cuna de reos,
por tu culpa ando sin cobre,
sin honor ni dignidad;
soy manguero y caradura,
paso siempre mishiadura
por tu raza caballar.
Me arrastra más la perrera,
más me tira una carrera
que una hermosa mujer.
Como una boca pintada
me engrupe la colorada
cual si fuera su mishé.
