DC - Dez horas da noite, na rua deserta a preta mercando parece um lamento
CM - Iê abará
DC - Na sua gamela tem molho cheiroso pimenta da Costa, tem acarajé
CM - Ô acarajé ecó olalai ô ô
Vem benzê ê ê
DC - Todo mundo gosta de acarajé (bis)
CM - Mas o trabalho que dá p'rá fazê é que é (bis)
DC - Todo mundo gosta de acarajé (bis)
Todo mundo gosta de abará (bis)
CM - Mas ninguém qué sabê o trabalho que dá
Ninguém qué sabê o trabalho que dá
DC - Todo mundo gosta de abará (bis)
Todo mundo gosta de acarajé
CM - Iê abará
Coro - Iê abará
DC - Dez horas da noite, na rua deserta quanto mais distante, mais triste o lamento
CM - O acarajé ecó olalai ô ô
Vem benzê ê ê, tá quentinho
Coro - Todo mundo gosta de acarajé!
