Desafio

Doutor: Meus senhores, vou lhes apresentar
A figura do homem popular,
Esse tipo idiota e muquirana
É um bicho que imita a raça humana.
O homem: O doutor exagera e desatina
Pois quando o pobre tem no seu repasto
O direito a escola e proteína
O seu cérebro cresce qual um astro
E começa a nascer pra todo lado
Jesus Cristo e muito Fidel Castro
Refrão:
Africará mingüê e favelará
mérica de verme que deusará
Iocuné Tatuapé Irará
Doutor: Veja o pobre de hoje: quer tratar
Do direito, da lei, ecologia.
É na merda que eles vão parar
Ou na peste, maleita, hidropisia.
O homem: Mas o Direito, na sua amplitude
Serve o grande e o pequeno também.
Além disso quem chega-se à virtude
E da lei se aproxima e se convém
Tá mostrando ao doutor solicitude
Por querer o que dele advém.
Refrão:
Africará minguê ... ... etc.
