Miss Sertão

Vamos minha gente vê no jorná o retrato das beleza
Essas muié da capitá parece umas princesa
Misse Bangu, Santa Tereza, Santa Cruz, Paquetá
Misses de todas as natureza, inté Misse Irajá
E na cabeça da caravana a tá de Copacabana
Mas essas mocinhas que tem na cidade
não vale as cabocas do Cariri
Muita burundanga, muita novidade
Mas no resto, ah! eu vi, as pernas de Taquari
Quem quisé vê misses bonita tem que ir-se no sertão
Não tem pintura, não gasta fita e é o que há de bão
As moreninha cô de canela, dos óio pestanudo
é que nem carne de vitela, macia qui nem veludo
P'ru Deus do Céu que ocês s'ingana, se vai atrás dessas tirana
Mas essas mocinhas que tem na cidade
não vale as cabocas do Cariri
Muita burundanga, muita novidade
Mas no resto, ah! eu vi, as pernas de Taquari
