Estaba la reina batata
Sentada en un plato de plata,
El cocinero la miró
Y la reina se abatató
La reina temblaba de miedo,
El cocinero con el dedo,
Que no que sí, que sí que no
De malhumor la amenazó
Pensaba la reina batata:
"Ahora me pincha y me mata"
Y el cocinero murmuró:
"Con ésta sí me quedo yo"
La reina vio por el rabillo
Que estaba afilando el cuchillo
Y tanto tanto se asustó
Que rodó al suelo y se escondió
Entonces llegó de la plaza
La nena menor de la casa,
Cuando buscaba su yoyó
En un rincón la descubrió
La nena en un trono de lata
La puso a la reina batata
Colita verde le brotó
(A la reina batata, a la nena, no)
Y esta canción se terminó
