É arrivato sul pallone con il botto del cannone
É arrivato sul treruote con la gotta sulle gote
É arrivato in aerostato, coi forzuti del Caucaso
sul Mercedes cabinato è arrivato il Marajà
Col monocolo e il ciclofono
va in rivista il Marajà
s'alza l'asta del ginnasta
quando passa il Marajà
si sollevano i manubri
dei sollevatori bulgari
si spara l'uomo cannone
quando passa il faraone
apre il mazzo anche il pavone
se lo chiede il Marajà
si scompiscia si sganascia
si oscureggia il Marajà
raglia tutta la marmaglia
quando raglia il Marajà
sguaian forte i commensali
versan gli otri ed i boccali
il pascialato si stravacca
se stramazza il Marajà
ma zittiscono e squittiscono
se sternuta il Marajà
si stupiscono e svanisono
se si acciglia il marajà
i giannizzeri ottomani
fanno guardia ai suoi divani
col ventaglio e col serraglio
danno lustro al Marajà
la circassa su una stola
di ermellino si consola
gli occhi viola si ristora
sui coscini di taftà
alle corse degli struzzi
fa la mostra dei suoi vizi
sognan tutti i suoi topazi
di diventare Marajà
Marajà! Marajà!

Malingut!
Con l'Uncino e la Phinanza
si rimpinza il Marajà
tutti accoglie tutti abbaglia
tutti ammalia il Marajà
fa da padre e da padrino
alza tutti al suo destino
non bisogna più pensare
pensa a tutto il marajà
ma t'attacca con riguardo
tutto il marcio del suo sguardo
se non credi più a nessuno
niente crede neanche a te
i miei sogni se li è presi
l'uomo nero e non li ha resi
l'uomo nero che li tiene
e ti trattiene un anno intero
m'han coperto tutto d'oro
e poi mi han lasciato solo
solo, solo qui a pensare
a diventare marajà
Marajà! Marajà!
