Rhythm in the Kitchen
Rhythm in the kitchen
The lady doesn't want
Because of the rhythm
I burned my foot
Rhythm in the kitchen
The lady doesn't want
Because of the rhythm
I burned my foot
I don't live in a one-room house
It's not because I'm afraid
In the kitchen many people
Always end up in a commotion
Rhythm in the kitchen
The lady doesn't want
Because of the rhythm
I burned my foot
Rhythm in the kitchen
The lady doesn't want
Because of the rhythm
I burned my foot
So don't mess with the pot
Don't scare away the rat
If the white man is jealous
What about the mulatto
I went to the kitchen
To get an onion
And the white man, jealous
Of a certain black woman
I left the onion, grabbed a potato
And the white man, jealous of a certain mulatto
I grabbed the basket to measure the flour
And the white man, jealous of a certain white girl
So don't mess with the pot
Don't scare away the rat
If the white man is jealous
What about the mulatto
But the rhythm in the kitchen
The lady doesn't want
Because of the rhythm
I burned my foot
Rhythm in the kitchen
The lady doesn't want
Because of the rhythm
I burned my foot
I went to the kitchen to have a coffee
And the scoundrel has his eye on my woman
But with me, I resorted to disharmony
And we went straight to the police station
Mr. Commissioner said with arrogance
It's from the one-room house of that Inês
Search them both, put them in the cell
Scoundrel with me doesn't stand a chance
But the rhythm in the kitchen
The lady doesn't want
Because of the rhythm
I burned my foot
Rhythm in the kitchen
The lady doesn't want
Because of the rhythm
I burned my foot
But Mr. Commissioner
I am in the right
I don't live in the storage house
I went to get my guitar
That was pawned with Salomão
I pay the bail with satisfaction
But don't put me in the cell
With this scoundrel
Who disrespected a citizen
Who is from Paraíba do Norte, Maranhão
Rhythm in the kitchen
The lady doesn't want
Because of the rhythm
I burned my foot
Rhythm in the kitchen
The lady doesn't want
Because of the rhythm
I burned my foot
