Full lyrics

O porteiro vai cobrando de cigarro no bico

A moçada vai entrando de cigarro no bico

O sanfoneiro vai tocando de cigarro no bico

Enquanto o dono do salão vai entrar no tico-tico


Tico tico tico vai entrar no tico tico

Tico tico vai entrar no tico tico


Quem tem dinheiro se arruma

Quem não tem fica de fora

Levantou perdeu canto

Se atrasou perdeu a hora

Perdeu a hora vai ouvir galo cantar

Fica a noite sem dançar

Dá no pé e vai embora

Translation

The doorman keeps collecting cigarettes in his beak

The youngsters keep entering with cigarettes in their beak

The accordion player keeps playing with a cigarette in his beak

While the owner of the hall will enter the tico-tico


Tico tico tico will enter the tico tico

Tico tico will enter the tico tico


Whoever has money gets ready

Whoever doesn't stays outside

Got up, lost the spot

Got late, missed the hour

Missed the hour will hear the rooster crow

Stays the night without dancing

Takes off and goes away
