Mas Que Nada
Bellini

Oaria raio
Oba oba oba
Oaria raio
Oba oba oba

Mas que nada
Sai da minha frente
Eu quero passar
Pois o samba esta animado
O que eu quero e sambar

Este samba
Que e misto de maracatu
E samba de preto velho
Samba de preto tu

Mas que nada
Um samba como esse tão legal
Você não vai querer
Que eu chegue no final

Oaria raio
Oba oba oba
Oaria raio
Oba oba oba

Mas que nada
Sai da minha frente
Eu quero passar
Pois o samba esta animado
O que eu quero e sambar

Este samba
Que e misto de maracatu
E samba de preto velho
Samba de preto tu

Mas que nada
Um samba como esse tão legal
Você não vai querer
Que eu chegue no final

Oaria raio
Oba oba oba
Oaria raio
Oba oba oba

Um samba como esse tão legal
Você não vai querer
Que eu chegue no final

Oaria raio

Oaria raio
Oba oba oba
Oaria raio
