No se como te atreves
A vestirte de esa forma
Y salir, así.
En mis tiempos todo era elegante
Sin greñudos why sin rock.

Hey pa fuiste pachuco,
También te regañaban.
Hey pa bailabas mambo,
Tienes que recordarlo.

No se como se atreven
A vestirse de esa forma
Y salir así.
En mis tiempos todas las mujeres
Eran serias no habia punk.

Hey pa fuiste pachuco,
También te regañaban.
Hey pa bailabas mambo,
Tienes que recordarlo.

No se como se atreven
A vestirse de esa forma
Y salir así.
Yo recuerdo
Mi generación era
Decente why muy formal

Hey pa fuiste pachuco,
También te regañaban.
Hey pa bailabas mambo,
Tienes que recordarlo.
