Pai e me, ouro de mina
Corao, desejo e sina
Tudo mais, pura rotina, jazz
Tocarei seu nome pr poder falar de amor
Minha princesa, art-nouveau
Da natureza, tudo o mais
Pura beleza, jazz
A luz de um grande prazer irremedivel neon
Quando o grito do prazer aoitar o ar, reveillon
O luar, estrela do mar
O sol e o dom, qui, um dia a fria
Desse front vir lapidar
O sonho at gerar o som
Como querer caetanear o que h de bom
