Quem quisé vatapá, ô
Que procure fazê:
Primeiro o fubá
Depois o dendê
Procure uma nega baiana, ô
Que saiba mexê
Que saiba mexê
Que saiba mexê
Bota castanha de cajú
Um bocadinho mais
Pimenta-malagueta
Um bocadinho mais
Amendoim, camarão, rala um coco
Na hora de machucar
Sal com gengibre e cebola, yayá
Na hora de temperar
Não pára de mexê, ô
Que é pra não embolar
Panela de fogo
Não deixa queimar
Com qualquer dez mil-réis e uma nega, ô
Se faz um vatapá
Se faz um vatapá! se faz um vatapá!
