Maria do amparo era sempre a primeira do clube a chegar no ensaio da moçada
Era sim senhor
João da malacacheta babava por ela e já desde pequeno arrumava uma treta
Por aquela flor
Maria azucrinava o pobre João
Ela sabia por onde andava aquele olhar
As anca safada sofriam de fogo e paixão
Mas a prata da casa fazia caso do moço e roubava cor
Até que um dia um francês pintou na jogada
'Comment allez-vous' levou a parada, levou o amor
Ficou só espinha de peixe e um nó na garganta
E cabeça mais baixa que rabo de sapo e muita dor
Mas a coisa não durou muito tempo não
E no dia que a escola de samba desfilou
Maria de porta-estandarte na contra-mão
Trazia a faixa no peito
E a desculpa sem jeito quem espantou pro coração
