Meia lua inteira
Sopapo na cara do fraco
Estrangeiro gozador
Copa de coqueiro baixo
Quando engano s'enganou
Sao Dindondao, Sao Bento
Grande Homem de movimento
Martelo de tribunal
Sumiu na mata a dentro
Foi pego sem documentos
No terreiro regional
(chorus)
Poeira-rarara
Poeira-rarara
Terca Feira, capoeira-rarara
Tudo pede onde der-rararara
Derradeiro-rarara
Derradeiro-rarara
Nao m'impede de cantar-rararara
Tudo pede onde der-rararara
Bimba, periba, mim que diga
Taco de arame, cabaca, barriga
Sao dindondao, Sao Bento
Grande Homem de movimento
Nunca foi um marginal
Sumiu da praca a tempo
Caminhando contra o vento
Sobre a planta capital
(repeat chorus twice)
Hummmm mmme
Hummm me meuuu
Hummm mmme...
(fade out)
