Cheguei num baile de rancho, tava frio, meio garoando
Raparigueiro gritou: - Olha aí quem vem chegando
Me atirei nos braços duma e já saímos cavocando
Cavoca aqui, cavoca ali cavoca lá
E eu nasci pra ser tatu meu negócio é cavocar
Cavoca aqui, cavoca ali, cavoca ali, cavoca ali, cavoca lá
E eu nasci pra ser tatu meu negócio é cavocar
Sai que nem burro torto desconfiado me cuidando
E as velhas que nem coruja pelos cantos me bombeando
E eu fazia que não via e continuava cavocando
Cavoca aqui, cavoca ali cavoca lá
E eu nasci pra ser tatu meu negócio é cavocar
Cavoca aqui, cavoca ali, cavoca ali, cavoca ali, cavoca lá
E eu nasci pra ser tatu meu negócio é cavocar
O cego la vem um bicho
Candeeiro quase apagando
E eu combinei tiburcia pra nos ir se resvalando
Que eu nasci pra ser tatu e eu quero morrer cavocando
Cavoca aqui, cavoca ali cavoca lá
E eu nasci pra ser tatu meu negócio é cavocar
Cavoca aqui, cavoca ali, cavoca ali, cavoca ali, cavoca lá
E eu nasci pra ser tatu meu negócio é cavocar
Dono do rancho gritou: - Eh gaiteiro, pode ir parando
Que eu vou contar a mulherada se não tem uma faltando
Porque lá fora eu vi um vulto esquisito cavocando
