Século do Progresso
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 dizia assim:
No século do progresso
O revólver teve ingresso
Pra acabar com a valentia
Um tiro a pouca distância...
