Ah! Esses atletas começam tão cedo
Velha bicicleta, chinelo de dedo
O calção rasgado, a bola de meia
Um tênis surrado, tatame de areia
Traves de bambu
Esse menino nu, quem é?
Mané, Pelé, será?
Que histórias vão contar seus pés?
Salta no cascalho, essa gurizada
Seus remos são galhos, pista na calçada
Prancha de caixote, cesta em lata d'água
Rede de barbante, raquete de tábua
Bola de sabão
Esses meninos bons, quem são?
Carlão, Guga, Oscar?
Que histórias vão contar suas mãos?
Veste a camiseta, corre que te quero
Pintando o planeta de verde-amarelo
E quantos que se perdem por aí, matando aula
Podiam se tornar Hortência, Magic Paula,
Ayrton, Piquet, Scheidt, Grael,
Scherer, Gustavo Borges, Aurélio Miguel?
O pivete que corre atrás de almoço e de jantar
Lembra João do Pulo, Joaquim Cruz ou Adhemar?
Quanta menina magra, na vida ou no crime...
Não podia ser a Sandra, a Jaqueline?
Se só com seus dons
Esses meninos são tão bons
Deixando de ser sós
Que histórias vão contar por nós?
Veste a camiseta, corre que te quero
Pintando o planeta de verde-amarelo
