América Do Norte
by Seu Jorge
Se segura que é balanço que chegou pra balançar
Se segura que é balanço que chegou pra balançar
América do Norte vai sambar também
América do Norte vai sambar again
Americanalina com esses olho azul
Vem balançar comigo
América do Sul
Pode remexer
E balançar a trança
Não esquente a cabeça
Pois a noite é uma criança
Vem dançar o samba rock lá do Grajaú
Americana vamos nesse samba blue
Comigo é eu te amo
E eu I love you
É um vento quente
Uma onda boa
Sinto falta da garoa
Das crianças
Da patroa
Hot dog is very nice
