Caballeros milongueros,
la milonga está formada
y el que cope la parada
que se juegue todo entero,
si es que tiene compañero,
la guitarra bien templada
pa' aguantar cualquier trenzada
con razón o sin razón,
cara a cara, frente a frente,
corazón a corazón.
Era el Chino Pantaleón
milonguero y cachafaz,
que al sonar de un bandoneón
viboreaba en su compás.
Era un taura pa' copar
y de ley como el mejor;
si lo entraban a apurar
era capaz de cantar
"La violeta" o "Trovador".
Caballeros milongueros,
vayan saliendo a la cancha
porque el que hace la "patancha"
es señal que le da el cuero;
siempre el que pega primero
lleva la mayor ventaja;
no le ponen la mortaja
al que tira sin errar;
no es de vivo, compañero,
el dejarse madrugar.
