El Taconazo
Raza Obrera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Agarre bailadora, agarrela del brazo.
Tomela de la cintura y saque polvadera con el taconazo.
Juntese cara a cara y si trae pistola saque el espinazo.
Por que con el sangolotello
Si se le va un balazo.
Por que con el sangolotello
Ella va a sentir muy fello
Si se le va un balazo.
Haga lo que Doña Lola mejor baila sola
Que con don pompozo.
Que siempre carga pistola
Y tambien machete es muy afrontoso.
Musica de mi norte con el acordeon y con el bajo sexto.
Polka y redova pal bailazo y sin miedo a la pista
Que siga el taconazo.
Polka y redova pal bailazo y sin miedo a la pista
Que siga el taconazo.
