Vasos De Colores Lyrics
Marvin Santiago
Lyrics
Pero que el otro día fuí al mercado
a comprar mis mandaditos
y ahí me encontré a Tinguaro
con tremendo tumbadito
Pero que el otro día fuí al mercado
a comprar mis mandaditos
y ahí me encontré a Tinguaro
con tremendo tumbadito
Yo le dije: "Qué, Tinguaro"
Tinguaro me contestó:
"Oye,
se quemó el confitillo, se quemó la malla,
la vaquilla y la quincaya"
y vasos blanco' en colores
también tengo coladores
a cuatro y cinco chavitos
y hoy me quedo en Puerto Rico
vendiendo vaso' en colores"
Yo me quedo en Puerto Rico
vendiendo vaso' en colores
improvisación
