Yo nací en un conventillo
De la calle Olavarría
De la calle Olavarría
Y me acunó la armonía
De un concierto de cuchillos
Viejos patios de ladrillos
Donde quedaron grabadas
Sensacionales payadas
Y al final del contrapunto
Amasijaban un punto
Pa' amenizar la velada
Cuando quise alzar el vuelo
Pianté del barro al asfalto
Pianté del barro al asfalto
Pretendí volar tan alto
Que casi me vengo al suelo
Como el zorro perdí el pelo
Pero agarre la manía
De logiar la gilería
Y al primer punto volia'o
Con algún fato estudia'o
Dejarlo en pampa y la vía
Una vez un tal loyola
Me embrocó en un guay fulero
Me embrocó en un guay fulero
Batida, bronca, taquero
Celular, biaba y gayola
Di concierto de pianola
Manyando minga y solfeo
Y aunque me llaman el feo
Colgué mi fotografía
Donde está la galería
De los ases del choreo
Hoy que estoy en los 40
En el debe de la vida
Chapé una mina raída
Que tiene más de la cuenta
Ando en un auto polenta
Diqueándome noche y día
Sin manyar la gilería
Que me está envidiando el brillo
Que nací en un conventillo
De la calle Olavarría
