(Estribilho)
Salve, salve as nossas escolas de samba
que no sapateado, meu povo, é um desacato
Meu samba é feito com gente bamba
tem tamborim, tem cuíca, pandeiro e mulato (bis)
Com um pandeiro, uma cuíca, um tamborim
é que se forma um samba
E o mulato sempre foi indispensável
num conjunto de cabrocha bamba
No samba se tem alegria, podes crer
no morro se tem alegria de viver (Salve! Salve!)
(Estribilho)
Lá do morro da Formiga ou do Borel se vê a Casa Branca
Se ouve o gemido da cuíca dando a todos carta branca
No samba se tem alegria, podes crer
No morro se tem alegria de viver (Salve!)
(Estribilho)
