Llegó
Con su espada de madera
Y zapatos de payaso
A comerse la ciudad
Compró
Suerte en doña manolita
Y al pasar por la cibeles
Quiso sacarla a bailar
Un vals
Como dos enamorados
Y dormirse acurrucados
A la sombra de un león
¿Qué tal?
Estoy solo y sin marido
Gracias por haber venido
A abrigarme el corazón
Ayer
A la hora de la cena
Descubrieron que faltaba
El interno dieciséis
Tal vez
Disfrazado de enfermero
Se escapó de ciempozuelos
Con su capirote de papel
A su estatua preferida
Un anillo de pedida
Le robó en el corte inglés
Con él
En el dedo al día siguiente
Vi a la novia del agente
Que lo vino a detener
Cayó
Como un pájaro del árbol
Cuando sus labios del mármol
Le obligaron a soltar
Quedó
Un taxista que pasaba
Mudo al ver como empezaba
La cibeles a llorar
Y chocó contra el banco central
