He spots a girl on a corner who seems interested. However, as things progress, he discovers a series of comedic setbacks.
The lyrics follow a humorous narrative typical of "carioca" (Rio) street life:
In the most famous part of the song, the "girl" reveals her name: "Meu nome é Waldemar, Waldemar Ferreira!" .
The story includes encounters with the police (a "blitz") where he has no ID and has to bribe them with "cervejinha" (beer money), and a dinner where neither person has money to pay the bill. 3. Musical Style and Legacy
