Mataron al negro bembón
Mataron al negro bembón
Hoy se llora noche y día
Porque al negrito bembón
Todo el mundo lo quería
Porque el negrito bembón
Todo el mundo lo quería
Y llegó la policía
Y arrestaron al matón
Y uno de las policías
Que también era bembón
Le toco la mala suerte
De hacer la investigación
Le toco la mala suerte
De hacer la investigación
Y saben la pregunta
Que le hizo al matón
Por qué lo mató?
Diga usted la razón
Y saben la respuesta
Que le dio el matón:
Yo lo maté
Por ser tan bembón
El guardia escondió
La bemba y le dijo:
Eso no es razón
