by Juvenal Galeno (1836 - 1931)

Quebra o côco, menina
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Folgue, folgue minha gente,
Que uma noite não é nada
Gentes venham ver o côco,
que já é madrugada.

Quebra o côco, menina
Duro está!
Ai, com força no côco, Saltará!
Ai, com geito no côco
Quebo já!
Lê, lê, lê, lê côco Yaiá!

Você diz qu'é bom o côco,
Côco bom não é assim;
Quem quiser ver um bom côco,
saia andando, atire em mim.

O coquinho está na porta,
Não é zombaria não;
Gentes venham ver o côco,
que se vai para o sertão.
