Yo soy Carmen la de España
Cigarrera, de Sevilla
Y a los guapos de Triana
Hago andar en coronilla
Pero no es verdad la historia
Que de mi escribio un frances
Al que haria en pepitoria
Si yo lo volviese a ver
Iba a servime de camafeo
Si atravesara los Pirineos
Carmen de España, manola
Carmen de España, valiente
Carmen con bata de cola
Pero cristiana y decente
No se quien fue el El Escamillo
Ni tampoco don Jose
Y no manejo el cuchillo
Ni a la hora de comer
Tengo fuego en la pestanas
Cuando miro a los gache
Yo soy la Carmen de Espana
Y no la de Merime
Y no la de Merime
Me han cantado en el teatro
Lo mismo que a la Traviata
Mas le aviso a mas de cuatro
Que voy a meter la pata
Pues me tiene hasta los pelos
Que ande suerta por hay
Una Carmen de camelo
Que no se parece a mi
De los pinreles a la peineta
Yo le zumbaba la pandereta
