Vide Verso Meu Endereço

Look at the Back for My Address
Mr. Gervasio
If Dr. José Aparecido shows up here
You give him this note
Go ahead, it’s got no secrets
Go ahead, Mr. Gervasio
I’m writing this with these poorly drawn lines
To let you know I made a samba for you
In which I want to express all my gratitude
And thank you from the heart
For everything you’ve done for me
And the money you once gave me
I bought a chair over at Praça da Bandeira
There, I’m holding my ground
I can pull in another grand a month
I got married, bought a little house in Ermelindo
I have three beautiful kids
Two are mine, one’s adopted
I had more to tell you
But I’ll save it for another time
Don’t mind the handwriting
The writing’s from my wife
Look at the back for my address
Stop by whenever you want
