Quién fue el raro bicho
Que te ha dicho, che pebete
Que pasó el tiempo del firulete
Por más que ronquen los merengues
Y que hay congas
Siempre es buen tiempo
Pa' la milonga
Vos, dejá nomás
Que algún chabón chamuye al cuete
Y sacudile tu firulete
Este arabesco que en el alma
La milonga nos bordó
Es el compás criollo y se acabó
Pero escuchá, fijate bien
Prestale mucha atención
Y ahora batí si hay algo igual
A este compás compadrón
Batí por Dios, si este compás
Repicadito y dulzón
No burbujea en tu piel
Y te hace más querendón
Pero escuchá, fijate bien
Prestále mucha atención
Y ahora batí si este compás
No es un clavel reventón
Es el clavel, es el balcón
Es el percal, el arrabal
El callejón y es el loco firulete
De algún viejo metejón
Vos, dejá nomás
Que algún chabón chamuye al cuete
Y sacudile tu firulete
Este arabesco que en el alma
La milonga nos bordó
Es el compás criollo y se acabó
