(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri jogando bola
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri bola jogar
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri jogando bola
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri bola jogar
Fui passear
No país do tatu-bola
Onde o bicho tem cachola
E até sabe falar
Eu vi um porco
Passeando de cartola
Um macaco na escola
Ensinando o bê-a-bá
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri jogando bola
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri bola jogar
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri jogando bola
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri bola jogar
Eu vi um peba
De batina e de estola
Vi um bode de pistola
Numa farda militar
Vi um mosquito
Ser pegado pela gola
E ser preso na gaiola
Por ser bebo e imorá
(Lá no mar)
Vi vi dois siri jogando bola
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri bola jogar
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri jogando bola
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri bola jogar
Eu vi um sapo
Balançando uma sacola
Num salão pedindo esmola
Pro enterro dum preá
Vi uma porca
Com dois brinco de argola
De batom mas que graçola
Dando beijos num gambá
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri jogando bola
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri bola jogar
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri jogando bola
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri bola jogar
Numa oficina
Vi um rato bater sola
Repicando na viola
Eu vi um tamanduá
Vi um veado
Com dois par de castanhola
Vestidinho de espanhola
Requebrando pra daná
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri jogando bola
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri bola jogar
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri jogando bola
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri bola jogar
Vi um elefante
Cozinhar na caçarola
Armoçar todo frajola
E a dentuça palitar
Vi um jumento
Beber vinte coca-cola
Ficar cheio que nem bola
E dar um arroto de lascar
(Lá no mar)
Vi vi dois siri jogando bola
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri bola jogar
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri jogando bola
(Lá no mar)
Vi dois siri bola jogar
Translation
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs playing ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs play ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs playing ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs play ball
I went for a walk
In the country of the tatu-bola
Where the creature has brains
And even knows how to talk
I saw a pig
Walking around in a top hat
A monkey at school
Teaching the ABCs
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs playing ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs play ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs playing ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs play ball
I saw a peba
In a cassock and a stole
I saw a goat with a pistol
In a military uniform
I saw a mosquito
Being grabbed by the collar
And being locked in a cage
For being drunk and immoral
(Out in the sea)
I saw, I saw two crabs playing ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs play ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs playing ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs play ball
I saw a frog
Swinging a bag
In a hall asking for alms
For the burial of a preá
I saw a sow
With two hoop earrings
With lipstick, what a joke!
Giving kisses to an opossum
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs playing ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs play ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs playing ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs play ball
In a workshop
I saw a rat tapping its feet
Playing loudly on the viola
I saw an anteater
I saw a deer
With two pairs of castanets
Dressed as a Spanish woman
Swaying like crazy to dance
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs playing ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs play ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs playing ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs play ball
I saw an elephant
Cooking in a casserole dish
Having lunch all dapper
And the big-toothed one picking its teeth
I saw a donkey
Drinking twenty Coca-Colas
Getting full like a ball
And letting out a huge burp
(Out in the sea)
I saw, I saw two crabs playing ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs play ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs playing ball
(Out in the sea)
I saw two crabs play ball
