Description The Three Caballeros- Jose Carioca

Nada aqui nesta manga, nada aqui nesta manga!
Balacubaco, saca trapo de urubu.
Pe de pato misturado, com bambu
Siricotico tico tico no fuba
Tico tico po de mico
Quero ver no que vai da!

Old art I'm uploading again.

Great work! Any chance you could translate this? I'm not very good at Portuguese.

I think what makes it hard is because you'll find some spanish in there too. It translate something like:

Nothing here in this sleeve, this sleeve has nothing here!
Balacubaco, bag rag vulture.
(Having trouble translating the first part. It could just be Bala plus some random nonsense. but when you cut it up into parts....I got Bala cub steel. Which would equally make no sense. it might be a slang word as well.)
Mr duck mixed with bamboo
I quoted Siri, "Tico Tico no Fubá"
(Tico-Tico no Fubá is the title of a renowned Brazilian choro music piece composed by Zequinha de Abreu in 1917. It could just be referencing that. although that part would be "Tick tock tick tock- no cornmeal" in Portuguese)
Tico tico powder of the laughing monkey
(powder of the laughing monkey means "itching powder". It's also a reference to the song "Tico Tico no Fubá")
I want to see what's going!

By the way, you might know "Tico Tico no Fuba" from this: [link]

I believe even Bugs bunny has sung and danced to this.
