Al' hojita de algarrobo molida
en el mortero se me sube a la cabeza,
ja jai como si fuera sombrero
Ya es tarde vidita mía,
ya es tarde vidita
la luna carnaval viene al galope,
ja jai y la chichita madura
Yo te quisiera, vidita
pero tu dueño está viendo
échale un puña'o de sueño,
ja jai que se divierta durmiendo
Anoche y tuíta
la noche casi me mato de risa
me soñé que me ponía,
ja jai calzón, enagua y camisa
Yo no sé qué sueños
tengo a mí mismo
me dan pena me hecho
a dormir en mi cama,
ja jai y amanezco en cama ajena.
Ahora sí que estoy de luto
corbatita colorada
porque se ha muerto mi suegra,
ja jai esa vieja condenada
