La pericona dice
Con mucha pena
Que la vida es más dura
Que una cadena,
Que una cadena,
Con mucha pena,
Que la vida es más dura
Que una cadena.
La pericona dice
Que tiene fiebre
Porque al pobre le pasan
Gato por liebre,
Que tiene fiebre,
Que tiene fiebre,
Porque al pobre le pasan
Gato por liebre.
La pericona dice
Que tiene frío
Porque al pobre le cuentan
El cuento 'el tío,
Que tiene frío,
Que tiene frío,
Porque al pobre le cuentan
El cuento 'el tío.
La pericona dice
Que el regimiento
Baila al son que le toque
El instrumento,
El regimiento,
El regimiento,
Aila al son que le toque
El instrumento.
La pericona dice
Pan y pedazo
Y el rico tiene un bollo
Debajo 'el brazo,
Pan y pedazo,
Pan y pedazo
Y el rico tiene un bollo
Debajo 'el brazo,
La pericona dice
Vamos cantando
Con Salvador Allende
Vengan los cambios,
Vamos cantando,
Vamos cantando
Con Salvador Allende
Vengan los cambios.
