É José
Esta vida é um barato
Agora o gato e o rato
Estão comendo no mesmo prato
O gato dá queijo pro rato
O rato dá peixe pro gato
Antigamente o gato
Com o rato não se dava
Onde estava o gato
O rato nunca ficava
Hoje os dois vivem juntos
Afanam de parceria
A dupla está formada
Um rouba e o outro vigia
É por isto
Que a nossa despensa anda vazia
Sempre tivemos ratos
Pra fazer a gente de gato e sapato
Roiam, roubavam, fugiam
Com medo do pulo do gato
Não entravam no balaio
Se escondiam num buraco
Mas agora balaio de gato
É balaio de gato e rato
