É que eu sou malandro, batuqueiro
Cria lá do morro do Salgueiro
Se não acredita, vem no meu samba pra ver
O couro vai comer!
Laroiê, Mojubá, Axé!
Salve o povo de fé, me dê licença!
Eu sou da rua e a lua me chamou
Refletida em meu chapéu
O rei da noite eu sou
Num palco sob as estrelas
De linho branco vou me apresentar
Malandro descendo a ladeira ê, Zé!
Da Ginga e do bicolor no pé
Pra se viver do amor pelas calçadas
Um mestre-sala das madrugadas
Ê, filho da sorte eu sou
Vento sopra a meu favor
Gira sorte, gira mundo, malandro deixa girar
Quem dá as cartas sou eu, pode apostar!
O Samba vadio, meu povo a cantar
Dia a dia, bar em bar
Eis minha filosofia
Nos braços da boemia, me deixo levar...
Eu vou por becos e vielas
Eu sou o barão das favelas
Quem me protege não dorme
Meu santo é forte, é quem me guia
Na luta de cada manhã
Um mensageiro da paz
De Larôs e Saravás
