Full lyrics

Menino que bom que é

Se vem dançar o côco

Vem na pontinha do pé


Olha! Menino que bom que é

Se vem dançar o côco

Vem na pontinha do pé


Em Pernambuco eu vi um tal de Zé Caboco

Num vi pra cantá côco

A ninguém pede lição

Pega o ganzá e diz o maior embolado

É o cantor mais falado

De todos lá no sertão


Batem o pé e a moça fica maluca

Daí começa a mazuca

Que o Sr. Líbano diz


Menino que bom que é

Se vem dançar o côco

Vem na pontinha do pé


Olha! Menino que bom que é

Se vem dançar o côco

Vem na pontinha do pé

Translation

Boy, how good it is

If you come to dance the coco

Come on the tip of your toe


Look! Boy, how good it is

If you come to dance the coco

Come on the tip of your toe


In Pernambuco I saw a guy named Zé Caboco

I didn't see him singing coco

He asks no one for lessons

He grabs the ganzá and says the biggest embolado

He is the most talked about singer

Of all in the backlands


They stomp their feet and the girl goes crazy

Then the mazuca begins

That Mr. Líbano says


Boy, how good it is

If you come to dance the coco

Come on the tip of your toe


Look! Boy, how good it is

If you come to dance the coco

Come on the tip of your toe
