Ahí te dejo estos dos pesos

Pagas la renta

El teléfono y la luz

De lo que sobre

Coge de ahí para tu gasto

Guárdame el resto

Pa' comprarme mi Alipús

El dinero que yo gano

Toditito te lo doy
I give it to you all
Te doy peso sobre peso

Siempre hasta llegar a dos

Tú no aprecias mis centavos

Y los gastas que da horror
And you spend them that is horrible
Yo por eso no soy rico
