Venham sem demora
Eu sou o cometa
Que vai logo embora
Eu sou o mascate
Eu sou barateiro
Vendo tudo a prazo
Eu detesto dinheiro
Minha Senhora, eis suas baixelas
Diretamente de Bruxelas
Senhorita, O Carmim da China
Para ruborizar sua face de menina
Eu sou o mascate
Sou o mercador
Renda pra Senhora
Na renda do Senhor
Três balaios de ungüentos
Carreteis de linhas, duzentos
E uma caixinha de sombra chinesa
Ali para a mocinha com cara de princesa
Eu sou o mascate
Sou bufarinheiro
Compro até alfinete
E vendo o mundo inteiro
Pílulas lilases, baratas e eficazes
E essências orientais
Para vossos banhos semanais
Eu sou o mascate
Eu sou varejista
Paguem quanto possam
Que eu entrego a vista
Façam vossas encomendas para o próximo trimestre
Que por enquanto só existe transporte terrestre
Dêem-me vossas listas com qualquer pedido
Que mulher não paga - só o marido
Eu sou o mascate
Eu já me vou
E o que eu vendo aqui
Me custou o dobro
Em Roma e Madri
Me custou o triplo
In London e Parrí.
