Peço a palavra, Sr. Presidente
Tens a palavra, ó líder dos Tenentes!
Senhor Presidente, eu que sou Tenente até a raiz dos cabelos,
eu que trabalhei para botar o carnaval na rua...
...não posso deixar de combater a reforma dos estatutos.
Primeiro, por considerá-la inoportuna,
contrária mesma aos reais e superiores interesses da nossa sociedade...
Então enfeza, macacada!
Sou folião,
Não sou sargento, não sou cabo,
Nem tenente de galão,
Sou Tenente do Diabo!
Um coronel muito vermelho
Por uma preta teve amor
Resultou desse dueto
Um guri vermelho e preto
que é tenente até na cor...
