Era meia-noite quando a cuíca roncou
Eu tava dormindo, mãe do samba me chamou
Acordei todo assustado
Não pude ficar assim
Eu entrei na batucada
Batendo meu tamborim
Uma cabrocha, no samba
Só cantava de improviso
No gingado da cabrocha
(Ai, meu Deus,) quase que eu perco o juízo
Era meia-noite quando a cuíca roncou
Eu tava dormindo, mãe do samba me chamou
Já quase de madrugada
Vejam só o que aconteceu
Apareceu o cabo da ronda
E o malvado me prendeu
A cabrocha, vendo isso
Logo então me defendeu
Não me prenda esse moleque
Quem toma conta dele sou eu
Era meia-noite quando a cuíca roncou
Eu tava dormindo, mãe do samba me chamou
Ai, eu tenho uma cabrocha
Cabrocha que Deus me deu
Quem gosta de mim é ela
Quem gosta dela sou eu
Eu vou avisar a alguém
Alguém eu quero avisar
Terreiro em que canta um galo
(Ai,) dois galos não podem cantar
