Dezessete e Setecentos

I gave you twenty thousand reis
To pay three and three hundred
You have to give me back
Sixteen and seven hundred
Seventeen and seven hundred
Sixteen and seven hundred

But if I gave you twenty thousand reis
To pay three and three hundred
You have to give me back
Sixteen and seven hundred
But sixteen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred
Why sixteen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred

But if I gave you twenty thousand reis
To pay three and three hundred
You have to give me back
Sixteen and seven hundred
But sixteen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred
Sixteen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred

I am a graduate
I attended university
I know Geography
I even know how to multiply
I gave twenty mangos
To pay three and three hundred
Seventeen and seven hundred
You have to give me back

It's seventeen and seven hundred
It's sixteen and seven hundred
It's seventeen and seven hundred
It's sixteen and seven hundred

But if I gave you twenty thousand reis
To pay three and three hundred
You have to give me back
Sixteen and seven hundred
But sixteen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred

But look here
If I gave you twenty thousand reis
To pay three and three hundred
You have to give me back
Sixteen and seven hundred
But sixteen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred
But sixteen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred

I think it's best
You leave the nine out
Prevent me from leaving
And leaving the bill unpaid
I already told you
That this mess is wrong
I'll go get the multiplication table
And come back here to prove it to you

You have to give me back
Sixteen and seven hundred
It's seventeen and seven hundred
It's sixteen and seven hundred

But if I gave you twenty thousand reis
To pay three and three hundred
You have to give me back
Sixteen and seven hundred
Why sixteen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred

But boy, look here
If I gave you twenty thousand reis
To pay three and three hundred
You have to give me back
Sixteen and seven hundred
But it's sixteen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred

But if I gave you twenty thousand reis
To pay three and three hundred
You have to give me back
Sixteen and seven hundred
But sixteen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred
Why sixteen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred

No, wait a minute
But if I gave you twenty thousand reis
To pay three and three hundred
You have to give me back
Sixteen and seven hundred
But why sixteen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred

But look here, man
Sixteen and seven hundred
Sixteen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred
But isn't it seventeen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred
Sixteen and seven hundred?
Sixteen and seven hundred

Then fine
That's why I don't like
Arguing with ignorant people
That's why Brazil
Has no progress in this
