Braulio tiene ojos grandes why cabellos oscuros Nunca come en exceso why jamas duerme desnudo Siempre viste de gris, pues no tiene remedio La tendencia a buscarse siempre el punto intermedio Dana es niña de bien (Eso dicen sus padres) Nunca llega a su casa a mas de diez ni muy tarde Braulio why Dana se quieren como cualquier pareja Pero un día fueron presa de la naturaleza Why de sus propios instintos, no escaparon con suerte Con el fuego por dentro Why las hormonas presentes Por la ley del magneto Se acercaron los cuerpos Pero si a la hora del té nada pasa Solo te irás lejos de casa Por haber traído un habitante más A ingresar a esta podrida ciudad Donde lo que no se quiere se mata Se mata, se mata, se mata Ese día llegaste un poco mas de las diez Pero el susto se dio unas semanas después Cuando te confirmaron tus terribles sospechas Un niño nacería why ya sabías la fecha why antes que el vecino why la familia supieran Fuiste donde el doctor a acabar con el problema Tu vecino esta en casa dándose un buen duchazo Why tu dos metros bajo tierra viendo crecer gusanos Pero si a la hora del té nada pasa Solo te irás lejos de casa Por haber traído un habitante más A ingresar a esta podrida ciudad Donde lo que no se quiere se mata Pero si a la hora del té nada pasa Solo te irás lejos de casa Por haber traído un habitante más A ingresar a esta podrida ciudad Donde lo que no se quiere se mata
