Eu namorava Carmelita Catafava
Uma cantora lá do sitio cajueiro
E mesmo antes de noivar ela pedia
Pra ver a lapa lá no Rio de Janeiro
Eu quero ir pra Lapa
Eu nunca vi a Lapa
Eu quero ver a Lapa
Lá no Rio de Janeiro
Eu levei a cidade maravilhosa
E lhe mostrei primeiro o Cristo Redentor
Depois da Lapa levei em Copacabana
E mesmo assim a moça não se conformou
Ela andou na lapa e gostou da Lapa
E disse eu tenho a Lapa no meu coração
Eu não podia vir ao Rio de Janeiro
E por isso eu inventei esse refrão
