A tonga da mironga do kabuletê
A tonga da mironga do kabuletê
A tonga da mironga do kabuletê
Eu caio de bossa
Eu sou quem eu sou
Eu saio da fossa
Xingando em nagô
Você que ouve e não fala
Você que olha e não vê
Eu vou lhe dar uma pala
Você vai ter que aprender
A tonga da mironga do kabuletê
A tonga da mironga do kabuletê
A tonga da mironga do kabuletê
Eu caio de bossa
Eu sou quem eu sou
Eu saio da fossa
Xingando em nagô
Você que fuma e não traga
E que não paga pra ver
Vou lhe rogar uma praga
Eu vou é mandar você
Pra tonga da mironga do kabuletê
Pra tonga da mironga do kabuletê
Pra tonga da mironga do kabuletê
