Everybody running to the carnaval, I say
everybody running to the spree on carnaval day
old and the young, the great and the small
everybody running to the carnaval
everybody running to the carnaval I say

One shirt Willie and he mother in law May May
see them pushing throu the crowd on carnaval day
nothin´ to eat and nothin´ to wear
but the carnaval... they are bound to be there.
everybody running to the carnaval I say

Twist eyed Mary Ann she was in love with a policeman
she made to understand she wanted to take a calypsonian
Everybody running to the carnaval I say.
