La polilla come lana
De la noche a la mañana
Muerde, come, come y muerde
Lana roja, lana verde
Sentadita en el ropero
Con su plato y su babero
Come lana de color
Con cuchillo y tenedor
Sus hijitos comilones
Tienen cuna de botones
Su marido tan polillo
Balconea en un bolsillo
De repente se avecina
La señora naftalina
Muy oronda la verán
Toda envuelta en celofán
La familia polillal
La espía por un ojal
Y le apunta con la aguja
A la naftalina bruja
Pero don polillo ordena
No la maten, me da pena
Vámonos a otros roperos
A llenarlos de agujeros
Y se van todos de viaje
Con muchísimo equipaje
Las hilachas de una blusa
Y un paquete de pelusa
