Preta velha girando segura a saia pra não cair
Mestre Donga fez samba e o refrão já vai aí
O chefe da polícia mandou me avisar
Que lá na carioca tem uma roleta pra se jogar
Brasil, meu Brasil brasileiro
A aquarela começava assim
O surdo, tamborim e o pandeiro
Com a benção do nosso senhor do bom fim
A festa lá na Tia Ciata
Não tinha hora para terminar
E os negros bem longe da chibata
Brincavam até o sol raiar
O negro vindo de outro continente
Misturou-se a nossa gente
Sangue universal
E entre ritos e magias, entre lindas fantasias
Nasce o carnaval
No rio no meio da brincadeira
Surge um tal de "zé pereira"
Com seu surdo muito original
O samba não é privilégio
Nem se aprende no colégio
