Vivemos nos tempos do rei
Tempos de ordem e de lei
Que ordem, indagam, e que lei?
Ora que ordem?
Ora que lei?
Não sei. Ahl
A ordem é dos portugueses
(Os brasileiros também)
(São dos portugueses?)
E a lei é uma dureza
Pra quem não diz
Pra quem não diz
Amém, amém,
Com a força dominando
Um chefe policial
Dando, prendendo, tomando
Uma figura bestial
Bestial!
Todos que moram aqui
Neste Rio imperial
Tremem de horror quando enfrentam
O coronel, o coronel
Vidigal, Vidigal!
