Oyeme morena
No te pongas tan rabiosa
Porque así no son las cosas
Para una mujer bonita
Mira que yo quiero
Que tu abuela no lo sepa
Porque si vas a la fiesta
Es para que goces sólita.
Quiero parrandear en Villanueva
Con una morena bien candela (bis)
Pero si me sales parrandera
Ay quizás...
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera morena
Si me sales parrandera.
Yo tenía una pena
Pero ya se me ha quitado
Porque estoy enamorado
De una muchachita buena
Es de lo contrario
De lo que me imaginaba
Porque allí donde tu bailas
Dejarás un gran rosario.
Pero si me sales parrandera
Dile a tu abuelita que no vea (bis)
Porque si no cae se tambalea
Y quizás...
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera morena
Si me sales parrandera
