Menininha do meu coração
eu so quero você
a três palmos do chão
Menininha não cresca mais não
fique pequinininha
nessa minha canção
senhorinha levada
batendo palminha
fingindo assustada do bicho-papão
menininha que graça é voce
uma coisinha assim
começando a viver
fique assim
meu amor
sem crescer
porque o mundo e ruim
e ruim e você vai sofrer de repente
uma desilusão porque a vida é somente o seu bicho-papão
fique assim,
fique assim,
sempre assim
e se lembre de mim
pelas coisas
que eu dei
e tambem não se esqueca de mim
quando você souber enfim
de tudo o que eu amei...
