No te hagas la loca
Ni la interesante
Ni me presumas de lo que
Tu nunca haz sido
Pobre changuita cuatro meses
Te he tenido
Bien vestida y bien polveada
Con naguas de pura seda
Y zapatos de charol
Y ja jai hasta me rio
Y me carcajeo
Y ja jai por esta changa
Tan ma'lora
Y ahora si hasta el bocado
Se me atora
De pensar en lo que cuesta
Los vestidos y las medias
Y zapatos de charol
-changuita, mira no'mas-
Hoy ya no quieres ir al cine
De a peseta
Pues porque dices que alli
Va gente pelada
Pobre changuita ahora
Si estas amolada
No te acuerdas precodina
Resfregabas la cocina siendo
Gata del patrón
Y ja jai hasta me rio
Y me carcajeo
Y ja jai por esta changa
Tan ma'lora
Y ahora si hasta el bocado
Se me atora
De pensar en lo que cuesta
Los vestidos y las medias
Y zapatos de charol
