Manuelita, Manuelita
Manuelita a dónde vas
Con tu traje de malaquita
Y tu paso tan audaz
Manuelita una vez se enamoró
De un tortugo que pasó
Dijo: ¿qué podré yo hacer?
Vieja no me va a querer
En Europa y con paciencia
Me podrán embellecer
Manuelita, Manuelita
Manuelita a dónde vas
Con tu traje de malaquita
Y tu paso tan audaz
En la tintorería de Paris
La pintaron con barniz
La plancharon en francés
Del derecho y del revés
Le pusieron peluquita
Y botines en los pies
Manuelita, Manuelita
Manuelita a dónde vas
Con tu traje de malaquita
Y tu paso tan audaz
Tantos años tardó en cruzar el mar
Que allí se volvió a arrugar
Y por eso regresó
Vieja como se marchó
A buscar a su tortugo
Que la espera en Pehuajó
Manuelita, Manuelita
Manuelita a dónde vas
Con tu traje de malaquita
Y tu paso tan audaz
