Lyrics
Spanish
Arbolito de naranja,
Peinecito de marfil,
Para la niña más bonita
Del Colegio de Guayaquil.
La Chanita y la Juanita
Se fueron a cortar limones;
Encontraron el árbol seco
Y se dieron de topetones.
English translation
"A little orange tree,
A little ivory comb,
For the prettiest girl
Of Guayaquil High School.
Joanie and Janie
Went to pick limes;
They found the tree all dried up
So they butted heads instead."
