El Rey

Yo sé bien que estoy afuera
Pero el día en que yo me muera
Sé que tendrás que llorar.
Llorar y llorar.
Dirás que no me quisiste
Pero vas a estar muy triste
Y así te vas a quedar.
Con dinero y sin dinero hago siempre lo que quiero,
Y mi palabra es la ley, no tengo trono ni reina
Ni nadie quien me comprenda... Pero sigo siendo el rey.
Y yo sigo siendo el rey, el rey sigo siendo yo..
Una piedra en el camino
Me enseñó que mi destino
Era rodar y rodar
Rodar y rodar
Después me dijo un arriero
Que no hay que llegar primero
Sino hay que saber llegar.
Con dinero y sin dinero hago siempre lo que quiero,
Y mi palabra es la ley no tengo trono ni reina
Ni nadie quien me comprenda pero sigo siendo el rey.
Y yo sigo siendo el rey, el rey sigo siendo yo..
