Palo Bonito
Chayanne · Chayanne [1988]
palo bonito, palo eh,
eh, eh, eh,
palo bonito, palo eh.
Virgen de Altagracia,
compañera mía,
tú para tu casa,
yo para la mía.
Tengo a San Antonio
puesto de cabeza
si no me da novia,
nadie lo endereza.
Palo, palo, palo,
palo bonito, palo eh,
eh, eh, eh,
palo bonito, palo eh.
Virgen de Altagracia,
compañera mía,
tú para tu casa,
yo para la mía
Oiga a San Antonio
a mí me gusta esa,
si está acompañada
pues no me interesa.
Enero, febrero, marzo,
abril y mayo,
son los cinco meses
primeros del año
