Conversa de Botequim [English translation]

Sir waiter, please do me the favor of quickly bringing

A good coffee with milk that isn't reheated

Some really hot bread with loads of butter

A napkin and a really icy glass of water

Shut the righthand door with lots of care

'Cause I'm not one for sunbathing

Go ask the customer beside you

What the result of the soccer match was

If you stay cleaning the table

I won't get up nor will I pay the bill

Go ask your boss

For a pen and some ink

For an envelope and a card

Don't forget to bring me toothpicks

And a cigar to shoo mosquitos

Go tell the tobacconist

To lend me a magazine

A lighter and an ashtray

Sir waiter, please do me the favor of quickly bringing

A good coffee with milk that isn't reheated

Some really hot bread with loads of butter

A napkin and a really icy glass of water

Shut the righthand door with lots of care

'Cause I'm not one for sunbathing

Go ask the customer beside you

What the result of the soccer match was

Call three four, four, three, three, three

At least once

And order ol' Osório

To send me an umbrella

Here to our office

Sir waiter, lend me some money

'Cause I left mine with the croupier

Go tell your manager

To hang the bill1

On the coat hanger in front

Sir waiter, please do me the favor of quickly bringing

A good coffee with milk that isn't reheated

Some really hot bread with loads of butter

A napkin and a really icy glass of water

Shut the righthand door with lots of care

'Cause I'm not one for sunbathing

Go ask the customer beside you

What the result of the soccer match was

1. This is a play on words. In Portuguese, if a bill is "hung," it won't be paid.
