Forró Do Poeirão
Elba Ramalho Lyrics

Quem não quiser dançar
Saia do meio do salão
Que dança hoje
É pra quem tem disposição
A mulherada tá na base da chinela
O suor tá na canela
Quero ver o poeirão
Quero ver o poeirão / levantar
Na batida do baião / levantar
Quero ver o poeirão

Agarradinho no salão / levantar
Machucando o coração / levantar

Quero ver esse moreno que você tem
Quero ouvir a batidinha do seu coração
Quero ter você comigo
Quero o seu bem
Quero esse menino
Levantar o poeirão
