A Paraíba Não É Chicago

Antônio Cantador
Challenged the game
Chicago and its singer
Paraíba ain't
Ain't Chicago, no way
And jazz ain't no baião

You got Al Capone here
But we got tough guys too
Messing with the law

Guitar, trombone blast
And the horn
Who knows
I’m just here to see
Got some foreigners saying
That knife over there
Ain't worth a dime

People flying in
Old trucks and big rigs
To see
Who’s gonna win
Who’s got the right
Is it funk or is it baião?
Whoever hears will say
That in the mix
That the bass makes
The sound is funk

Whoever wants to dance
And connect with the accordion player
Will be in the baião

Get into the groove, man
Stay in the rhythm
'Cause the swing is one and the same
Ain't Chicago, no
No
It's Paraíba, brother
