Mataron al negro Bembón
y hoy se llora noche y día
porque al negrito Bembón
todo el mundo lo quería.
Y llegó la policía
y arrestaron al matón
y a un negrito policía,
que también era Bembón,
le tocó la mala suerte
de hacer la investigación.
¿Y saben la pregunta que le hizo al matón?
A ver, diga usted, ¿por qué lo mató?
¿Y saben la respuesta que le dio el matón?
¡Yo lo maté por ser tan Bembón!
El guardia escondió la Bemba y le dijo:
Esa no es razón
Esa no es razón
Yo lo maté por ser tan Bembón,
dijo el matón.
Esa no es razón.
Huye que huye matón,
huye matón, huye.
Esa no es razón.
Me voy.
Esa no es razón.
Esconde la Bemba que viene el matón
esconde la Bemba que viene
esconde la Bemba que
mataron al negro Bembón.
