Por cuánto me va a llevar
A la calle Caseros
Frente al pancero
Me va a dejar.
Quiero comer ají
Que pique hasta reventar
Para volver a casa
Y decirle a Juana
Que sé cantar.
Oiga cocherito
Por cuánto me va a llevar
A la calle Laprida
Vuelta la esquina
Jose Julian.
Suba nomás señor
Que nada le va a costar
Y en la calle Caseros
Frente al pancero
Hemos de arreglar.
