Adão e Eva
Cansados de uma vida vã
Queimaram erva
E comeram bolo de maçã
Foi um quiproquó
O que aconteceu
Deus não teve dó
E o pau comeu
Era fevereiro
Num calor de rachar bambuzal
E a serpente sugeriu
Um exílio sem igual
Com belezas mil
Sutil paraíso fiscal
E assim fugiu o casal pro meu Brasil
Ó meu Brasil, Brasil, Brasil
Desceram pela Baía num catamarã
Trazendo muita alegria
E fartos de maçã
Caminharam nus pelos areais
Entre mil bambus e coqueirais
Já nem mais lembravam
Que eram dois fugitivos do mal
Foi Adão com seu tambor
Que inventou o carnaval
Eva foliã sambava
Mexendo o quadril
E da maçã
Fez-se a cor do meu Brasil
