Se encontrar o Tio Sam no choro
Vou ficar zangado, vou me aborrecer
Não poder ser
Perdoe a minha hostilidade
Mas a minha autoridade
Tenho que fazer valer
Como representante do chorinho
Que tem no cavaquinho um aliado bamba
Eu lhe suplico em bem do decoro
Não vá entrar no choro
Como entrou no samba
Vendo o suíngue enfezado
O batuque ficou mascarado
No choro não é assim
Você tem que passar por mim
Tio Sam, só você vendo
O que está acontecendo
O meu samba crioulo orgulhoso do sul
Ficou mestiço de olho azul
