Full lyrics
Eu fui comer um pato
Na casa do coroné
O pato tava gostoso
Tava mesmo de colher
Cobrinha, todo assanhado, foi o primeiro a sentar
Na primeira colherada, ele danou-se a gritar
Qua qua qua qua
Qua qua qua qua
Esse prato não é pato
Esse prato tem preá
Coroné abufelou-se
Começou logo a gritar
Cabra, você me respeite
Não sou homem de enganar
Passe logo o seu prato, que eu vou experimentar
Se no prato tiver pato, vou lhe bater de preá
Qua qua qua qua
Esse prato é mesmo pato
Não tem nada de preá
Translation
I went to eat some duck
At the colonel's house
The duck was delicious
Really good with a spoon
Cobrinha, all excited, was the first to sit down
At the first spoonful, he started to scream
Quack quack quack quack
Quack quack quack quack
This dish isn't duck
This dish has guinea pig
The colonel got angry
Immediately started to shout
You better respect me, you rascal
I'm not a man to deceive
Pass your plate right away, so I can try it
If there's duck on the plate, I'll beat you with a guinea pig
Quack quack quack quack
This dish is really duck
There's no guinea pig at all
