João e Maria
Roberto Carlos
John and Mary
Read in the almanac the new version
Of the story of John
Took Mary to the woods for a walk
And to catch beautiful butterflies
Little Mary didn't know, no,
About John's intentions
The truth is in the almanac
Because that walk was a sham
Little Mary didn't like, no,
John's nonsense
But the end is not in the almanac
I know that Mary
Came back in a Cadillac
John, poor thing, was left behind
With the butterflies in hand
Poor little John
Read in the almanac the new version
Of the story of John
Took Mary to the woods for a walk
And to catch beautiful butterflies
Little Mary didn't know, no,
About John's intentions
The truth is in the almanac
Because that walk was a sham
Little Mary didn't like, no,
John's nonsense
But the end is not in the almanac
I know that Mary
Came back in a Cadillac
John, poor thing, was left behind
With the butterflies in hand
Poor little John
Once upon a time John
Once upon a time John
Once upon a time John
Little John
