Full lyrics

Mandei fazer um liforme

Como toda a preparação

Para botar no arraiá

Na noite de São João


Chapéu de arroz doce

Forrado com tapioca

As fitas de alfinim

E as fivelas de paçoca

A camisa de nata

E os botões de pipoca


A ceroula de soro

E as calça de coalhada

O cinturão de manteiga

E o buquê de carne assada

Sapato de pirão

E a zenfilhon de cocada


As meias de angu

Presilhas de amendoim

Charuto de biscoito

E os anelões de bolim

Os óculos de ovos fritos

E as luvas de toucin


O colete de banana

E a gravata de tripa

O paletó de ensopado

E o lenço de canjica

Carteira de pamonha

E a bengala de linguiça


Vai ser um grande sucesso

No baile da prefeitura

A pulseira de queijo

E o relógio de rapadura

Quem tem um liforme deste

Pode contar com fartura

Translation

I had a uniform made

As all the preparation

To wear at the arraiá

On the night of São João


Hat of rice pudding

Lined with tapioca

The ribbons of alfinim

And the buckles of paçoca

The shirt of cream

And the buttons of popcorn


The long johns of whey

And the pants of curds

The belt of butter

And the bouquet of roasted meat

Shoe of pirão

And the zenfilhon of cocada


The socks of angu

Peanut clips

Biscuit cigar

And the large rings of bolim

The glasses of fried eggs

And the gloves of toucin


The banana vest

And the tripe tie

The stew jacket

And the canjica handkerchief

Pamonha wallet

And the sausage cane


It will be a great success

At the city hall dance

The cheese bracelet

And the rapadura watch

Whoever has a uniform like this

Can count on abundance
