From United States Of Piauí

From United States of Piauí
My cousin from Piauí
Stopped making lace just to watch soap operas
My cousin from Piauí
No longer drinks sugarcane juice, goes for Coca-Cola

Oil lamp light is no longer used
Artificial light replaces gas
Leather pants, denim apron
Gave way to this thing called Lee jeans

My cousin wrote to me
And doesn't say come here, only says come here
I'll send my brief reply
To the United States of Piauí
