Lyrics
Traés, llevás, hacés de secretario
Y preparás el plato a tu patrón,
Y al terminar tu labor de emisario
Ligás un “canario” por tu comisión.
 
Tenés cachet de tipo millonario
Y quién te ve fumando un “Partagás”,
No quieren creer que ganás un salario
Como intermediario de quien pague más.
 
¡Cogote...!
Cuatro pelos de bigote,
Gran galera y gran bastón.
Que vivís como un pegote
De la manga ´e tu patrón.
¡Cogote...!
Está pidiendo un garrote,
Pretencioso monigote
Tu cabeza de melón.
English translation
You bring, you carry, you act as a secretary
And you prepare the dish for your employer,
And at the end of your work as emissary
You tie a "canary" for your commission.
 
You have the cachet of a millionaire
And who sees you smoking a "Partagás",
They don't want to believe that you earn a salary
As a middleman for whoever pays more.
 
Cogote...!
Four hairs of mustache,
Big galley and big stick.
That you live like a pegote
From the sleeve of your boss.
Gogote...!
He's asking for a club,
You pretentious little monkey
Your melon head.

The Cabeceo
