VOZ 1: Qué rico es darse un traguito
en medio de la parranda,
tomarse un guarapo de caña para levantar presión,
cantar un punto mayor
cuando te sale del alma.

Y si acaso has olvidado como debes empezar,
con un traguito se arranca, luego no quieres parar,
no, no, no, no.

CORO: Con un traguito se empieza, luego no quieres parar,
que no se te olvide nunca tu alegría de cantar,

que no se te olvide nunca tu alegría de cantar.
