A formiga no carreiro
Vinha em sentido cantrário
Caiu ao Tejo
Ao pé dum septuagenário
Larpou trepou às tábuas
Que flutuavam nas àguas
E de cima duma delas
Virou-se prò formigueiro
Mudem de rumo
Já lá vem outro carreiro
A formiga no carreiro
Vinha em sentido diferente
Caiu à rua
No meio de toda a gente
Buliu buliu abriu as gâmbias
Para trepar às varandas
E de cima duma delas
Virou-se prò formigueiro
Mudem de rumo
Já lá vem outro carreiro
A formiga no carreiro
Andava a roda da vida
Caiu em cima
Duma espinhela caída
Furou furou à brava
Numa cova que ali estava
E de cima duma delas
Virou-se prò formigueiro
Mudem de rumo
Já lá vem outro carreiro
