Caco Velho

Reside no subúrbio do Encantado
Num barracão abandonado
João de tal, cabra falado.
Dizem que viveu fora da lei,
Foi um rei
Que zombava da morte
E tinha um santo forte
No meio da gente bamba
O seu prazer era tirar um samba
Pulava, dava rasteira
Topava briga de qualquer maneira
Mas hoje é um caco velho
Que não vale nada
Tem a cabeça branca e a pele encarquilhada
Faz até pena ver o seu estado.
Pobre coitado
A vida é essa,
É um segundo que se esvai depressa.
Todos nós temos o nosso momento
E, depois dele, só o esquecimento ...
