A Raposa e as Uvas
Reginaldo Rossi
The Fox and the Grapes
I remember with great longing
That little dance
When we used to dance
So close
When we really went
To hug each other
You with hairspray in your hair
And a twirly dress
And those petticoats
With so many ruffles
And you would sit down
Just to show me
And all we did was fool around
Were three, four drinks
I was the fox
You were the grapes
I always wanting
To steal your kiss
And no matter how much you
Avoided me
I was sure
That at the end of the dance
On my Lambretta
That pretty girl
Would hug me
When the orchestra
Played Besame Mucho
I would hold you tight
And look at your bust
Inside the corset
Wanting to jump
I all smelling like Lancaster
And you like Chanel
I was a boy
But played the role
Of the terrible man
Just to protect you
And all we did was fool around
Were three, four drinks
I was the fox
You were the grapes
And I always wanting
To steal your kiss
And no matter
How much you avoided me
I was sure
That at the end of the dance
On my Lambretta
Happy to go home
I would take you
And arriving at your house
In front of the gate
A kiss, a hug
My hand, your hand
Afraid that the old man
Could wake up
The pill already existed
But was not talked about
Because in the many advices
That your mother gave you
There was one that said
Only after getting married
And all we did was fool around
Were three, four drinks
I was the fox
You were the grapes
And I always wanting
To steal your kiss
And no matter
How much you avoided me
I was sure
That at the end of the dance
On my Lambretta
That beautiful body
Would hug me
And all we did was fool around
Were three, four drinks
I the fox
You were the grapes
And I always wanting
To steal your kiss
And no matter
How much you avoided me
I was sure
That at the end of the dance
On my Lambretta
That beautiful body
Would hug me
