Auntie Yoyo
What's under your big hat?
Auntie Yoyo
In my head, there are lots of birds
Auntie Yoyo
I was told that there is even a bell
But, me, I like it
When it makes ding-ding-di-gue-ding
Like a samba
I have my boa
My old hat
My flower dress
And my cigarette end
My umbrella
And my false eyelashes
And a compass
On my belly button
The Brazilians nicknamed me "The Madwoman of Rio"
But the kids give me a funnier name:
Auntie Yoyo
What's under your big hat?
Auntie Yoyo
In my head, there are lots of birds
Auntie Yoyo
I was told that there is even a bell
But, me, I like it
When it makes ding-ding-di-gue-ding
Like a samba
It's been a while
That I lug around
Among the masks
Of the Carnival
My silhouette
My crazy charm
It bothers them
They are jealous
I hear them on my way, they say: "Oh, how beautiful she is!"
A kid said: "Dad, I want her for my Christmas"
Auntie Yoyo
What's under your big hat?
Auntie Yoyo
In my head, there are lots of birds
Auntie Yoyo
I was told that there is even a bell
But it doesn't do anything
When I dance, it makes ding-ding-di-gue-ding
And i like it
Yes, I like it when it's ding-ding-di-gue-ding
Like a samba
