O ZABUMBEIRO
(Vicente Barreto e Celso Viáfora)
Bota a zabumba com seu tum-prá-tum-tum
Que aí o couro come
Tira a zabumba com seu tum-prá-tum-tum
pra tu vê
Tira a zabumba do forró, sujeito
que o xote perde todo o fuzuê
É feito cerveja sem álcool, bala com papel,
bundinha sem o balancê
Se o zabumbeiro quebra tudo
sanfoneiro e cantador que levam a fama
mas se o zabumba vai miúdo
fica tudo devagar
Então, ao fole o que é do fole
e, também, ao cantador o que é do cantador
mas se não tem forró quando não vem quem sole
também não há que sole se não tem o tocador
Pinica o couro, zabumbeiro!
Põe fogo no terreiro
fumaceia a chaminé
que vai chover mulé para dançar com home
e até home com home e mulé com mulé
