Lyrics:
Down in Brazil, there's a singsong game they play.
When you hear this tune, it haunts you night and day.
Just play it once and I'm sure that you will find
This quaint melody will linger in your mind.

Escravos de Jó, jogavam Caxangá
Tira, põe, deixa Zé Pereira ficar
Guerreiros com guerreiros fazem Zig Zig Zá
Guerreiros com guerreiros fazem Zig Zig Zá

Down in Brazil, there's a wacky game they play.
Click clack, over and back, you hear it night and day.
Round and around, if you miss it, you're to blame
Click clack, over and back, that's the matchbox game.
