Te conquistaron con plata
Y rajaste para adentro
Las luces malas del centro
Te hicieron meter la pata
Nada te importó che ingrata
Echaste todo a rodar
Pues tu afán de figurar
Enfermó tu alma de olvido
Y aura hasta tenés marido
Las cosas que hay que aguantar
M'hijita me causa gracia
Tu nuevo estado civil
Porque has engrupido a un gil
Que creyó en tu aristocracia
Vos sos la ñata Pancracia
Hija del tano Gerarto
Un goruta flaco y alto
Que trabajaba en la Boca
No te acordás, gringa loca
Cuando piantaste al asfalto
Y ahora tenés vuaturé
Usás tapao petigris y
Tenés un infeliz
Que la chamuya en francés
Que hacés, tres veces que hacés
Señora Clisolda Valle
Si cuando lucís tu talle
Con ese coso del brazo
No te rompo de un tortazo
Por no pegarte en la calle
Señora, pero hay que ver
Tu berretín de matrona
Si te acordás de Ramona
Abonale el alquiler
No te hagás la rastacuer
Desparramando la guita
Baja el copete m'hijita
Con tu vida bacanada
Pero si sos más manyada
Qu'el tango La Cumparsita
