Forró De Surubim
Elba Ramalho Lyrics

Ajunta os bebo
No forró de Surubim
Pra fazer cuim
Para dar alteração
Por qualquer besteira
Puxa a faca, fura o fole
Vão lá dentro tomar gole
De cachaça com limão
Mas Surubim
Que é homem destemido

Não tem medo do perigo
Empunha a faca na mão
Faz uma rosca na ponta do bigode
Com ele ninguém pode
Só ele é valentão

Surubim diz que o forró
Só está mais animado
Quando o pau está comendo

Quando o fole está furado
Quando apaga o candeeiro
Quando é grande a confusão
Quando vê a concertina
Passando de mão em mão
Quando vê os bebo mole
De cachaça com limão
