VOZ 1: ¡Oye, Gallego,
tremenda nota!.
CORO: Me tienes acostumbrado
cuando llego de la fiesta,
formas tremenda protesta
por lo mucho que he tomado.
VOZ 1: No tengo nota, mujer,
porque no he bebido nada,
me demoré en la parada
conversando con mi amigo,
y por favor, si lo sigo
llego aquí de madrugada.
CORO: No sé si llegué temprano
porque no vi bien la hora,
VOZ 1: Pero perdone, señora,
si es que usted se ha puesto brava.

si tengo nota,
yo quiero saber
si se me nota.
Aprovéchenme
si tengo nota,
yo quiero saber
si se me nota.

¿dónde va Miguel?
Bururú, barará a tomarse un ron,
bocoy.
CORO: Aprovéchenme
si tengo nota,
yo quiero saber
si se me nota.
VOZ 1: Pero que nota,
que nota tengo yo,
yo quiero darme un traguito de bocoy.
CORO: Aprovéchenme
si tengo nota,
yo quiero saber
si se me nota.
