A formiga no carreiro
vinha em sentido contrário
Caiu ao Tejo
ao pé de um septuagenário
Lerpou trepou às tábuas (bis)
que flutuavam nas águas (bis)
e do cimo de uma delas
virou-se para o formigueiro
mudem de rumo (bis)
já lá vem outro carreiro
A formiga no carreiro
vinha em sentido diferente
caiu à rua
no meio de toda a gente
buliu abriu as gâmbeas
para trepar às varandas
e do cimo de uma delas
...
A formiga no carreiro
andava à roda da vida
caiu em cima
de uma espinhela caída
furou furou à brava
numa cova que ali estava
e do cimo de uma delas
