A noite estava estrelada
Quando a roda se formou;
A lua veio atrasada
E o samba começou!
Um tiro a pouca distância
No espaço forte ecoou;
Mas ninguém deu importância
E o samba continuou!
Entretanto ali bem perto
Morria de um tiro certo
Um valente muito sério;
Professor dos desacatos
Que ensinava aos pacatos
O rumo do cemitério.
Chegou alguém apressado
Naquele samba animado
Que cantando assim dizia:
No século do progresso
O revólver teve ingresso
Pra acabar com a valentia.
Um tiro a pouca distância...
