A BITTO DOS FUNINHO

What’s your Brazilian Footballer Name?

Would you believe he came out well?

He had a bright, inquiring mind.

His family knew that he’d go far,

if he applied his time.

But he started out standing on corners,

and talking out loud, too loud.

You see, he couldn’t believe in himself, or the world,

or anything he heard.

— Johnny The Horse, Madness.
