Foi na lapa que eu nasci
Foi na lapa que eu aprendi a ler
Foi na lapa que eu cresci
E na lapa, eu quero morrer
A lapa também tem a sua igreja
Pra que toda gente veja
Onde eu fui batizado
A lapa, onde já não há conflito
Fica no 5º distrito
Aonde eu fui criado
Um samba, um sorriso de mulher
Bate-papo de café
Eis aí a lapa
Um samba, um sorriso de mulher
Bate-papo de café
Eis aí a lapa
Foi na lapa que eu nasci
