Nelson Sargento
Nelson Sargento me prendeu
Com a sua poesia
Me deixou trancafiado
Numa linda melodia
Esse bamba tem patente
Sua arma é a viola
E seu quartel é a Mangueira de Cartola
Foi ali nessa doce prisão
Regimento dos bons menestréis
Que amarrou nos meus pés um bom Samba
Que a favela prendeu nos pincéis
Disse que o Samba agoniza
Mais nunca há de morrer
Pela Mangueira querida
Fez o que pode fazer
Bebeu Carlos Cachaça
Batucou pra Xangô
Serviu na Velha Guarda
Com Delegado Sambou
Desde a Primeira Estação
A estação derradeira
Pulsam num só coração
Nelson Sargento e Mangueira
