Ayer te vi pasar
Con aires de bacán
En una vuature copera
Te saludé y vos te hiciste el gil
Como si no me conocieras
Llevabas en tu carablanca de fifí
Más polvo que una carretera
Y fue tal la bronca que yo me agarre
Que quise gritarte así
Pato fuistes en todo momento
Pato, aunque quieras despistar
Seco, hoy tenés apartamento
Y te pagan mucho vento pa lucirte en el Pigall
Pato, atorrante, desgracia'o, que te peinas a la gomina
Pato, hoy sos milonguero y compadrón
Cuando te dé el espiante la mina
Pasarás por nuestra esquina a mangar para el buyón
De lo que fuiste ayer ya nada te quedo
Muchacho rante de mi barrio
Quien te viocomo te he visto yo
Manyá que sos un pobre otario
Recuerda que la vida de cualquier bacán
Tiene más vueltas que la oreja, y que, si un día
La suerte no va al suburbio, volverás
Pato fuistes en todo momento
Pato, aunque quieras despistar
Seco, hoy tenés apartamento
Y te pagan mucho vento pa lucirte en el Pigall
Pato, atorrante, desgracia'o, que te peinas a la gomina
Pato, hoy sos milonguero y compadrón
Cuando te dé el espiante la mina
Pasarás por nuestra esquina a mangar para el buyón
