Sambeaba

[- E chegando reforço no sambeabá... Ney Lopes
- Olha aí Marrom tô chegando, tô na área,
E se me derrubar é penalti]

Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhá (sim, sinhá)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhô (sim, sinhô)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhá (sim, sinhá)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhô (sim, sinhô)

Pra poder soletrar o beabá do samba
Não tem que ser bamba
Só tem que querer
A Dona Iracema chegou de Ipanema
Cheia de sistema, cheia de chiquê

Mas não guentou quando escutou
O pandeiro esticando o ganzá
Rapidinho ela veio pro esquema
Versando no tema do sambeabá

Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhá (sim, sinhá)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhô (sim, sinhô)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhá (sim, sinhá)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhô (sim, sinhô)

O pagode rolava, redondo, maneiro Ney
Com banjo, pandeiro, repique e tantan
Foi quando um barbado
Fio desencapado
Com pé bem queimado
Disse ser meu fã

Eu que não sou de caô caô
E nem sou nego de quasquaquá
Segurei esse navalha aberta
Numa rima esperta do sambeabá

Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhá (sim, sinhá)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhô (sim, sinhô)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhá (sim, sinhá)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhô (sim, sinhô)

Nosso samba por ser coisa muito da séria
Tem que ser matéria do vestibular
Pro vestibular do depois de aprovado
Só ser diplomado se souber sambar

E eu que no samba sou doutor
Quero ser professor titular
Catedrático, bem sistemático
Nesse didático sambeabá

Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhá (sim, sinhá)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhô (sim, sinhô)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhá (sim, sinhá)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Mas que sambinha bom sinhô (sim, sinhô)

Sambeaba

[- Oh, my dear, here comes the reinforcement in sambeabá... Ney Lopes
- Hey, Marrom, I'm here, I'm in the area,
And if you knock me down, it's a penalty]

Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, miss? (Yes, miss)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, sir? (Yes, sir)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, miss? (Yes, miss)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, sir? (Yes, sir)

To learn the ABCs of samba,
You don't have to be a samba expert
You just need to be willing
Dona Iracema arrived from Ipanema
All sophisticated and chic

But she couldn't resist
When she heard the pandeiro stretching the ganzá
She quickly came over to the party
Singing along to the theme of sambeabá

Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, miss? (Yes, miss)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, sir? (Yes, sir)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, miss? (Yes, miss)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, sir? (Yes, sir)

The samba was flowing, smooth and easy, Ney
With banjo, pandeiro, repique, and tantan
That's when a bearded man
Crazy as a loon
With feet all burned
Said he was my fan

I'm not one for gossip,
And I don't like to brag
I grabbed that open switchblade
And gave him a clever rhyme in sambeabá

Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, miss? (Yes, miss)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, sir? (Yes, sir)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, miss? (Yes, miss)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, sir? (Yes, sir)

Our samba is a serious matter
It should be a subject on the college entrance exam
For the entrance exam after you've been accepted
You can only graduate if you know how to samba

And since I'm a doctor of samba,
I want to be a full professor
A professor, very methodical
In this didactic sambeabá

Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, miss? (Yes, miss)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, sir? (Yes, sir)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, miss? (Yes, miss)
Sambeabá, sambeabá
Isn't this a pleasant little samba, sir? (Yes, sir)
