Lyrics[]
La Cucaracha La Cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene
Porque le faltan
Enchiladas que comer
La Cucaracha La Cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene
Porque le faltan
Enchiladas que comer
Ya se va la cucaracha
Ya la llevan a enterrar
Entre cuatro zopilotes
Y un raton de san cristan
Ya se va la cucaracha
Ya la llevan a enterrar
Entre cuatro zopilotes
Y un raton de san cristan
repeat above
La Cucaracha La Cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene
Porque le faltan
Enchiladas que comer
La Cucaracha La Cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene
Porque le faltan
Enchiladas que comer
Enchiladas que comer,
Enchiladas que comer
Enchiladas que comer
