C'è adrenalina nell'aria
Carne fresca che gira
Polvere sulla strada
E gente che se la tira
E a tocchi a tocchi una campana suona
Per i gabbiani che calano sulla Magliana
E spunta il sole sui terrazzi della Tiburtina
E tutto si arroventa e tutto fuma
Per le strade di Roma
Ci sono facce nuove
E lingue da imparare
Vino da bere subito
E pane da non buttare
E musica che arriva da chissà dove
E donne da guardare
Posti dove nascondersi e case da occupare
Che sono arrivati i Turchi all'Argentina
E c'è chi arriva presto e chi è arrivato prima
Per le strade di Roma
E c'è un tempo per vendere
E un tempo per amare
E c'è uno stile di vita
E un certo modo di non sembrare
Quando la notte scende
E il buio diventa brina
E uomini ed animali cambiano zona
Lucciole sulla Salaria e zoccole in via Frattina
E tutto si consuma e tutto si combina
Per le strade di Roma
E a tocchi a tocchi una campana suona
Per i ragazzi che escono dalla scuola
E sognano di fare il politico o l'attore
E guardano il presente senza stupore
Ed il futuro intanto passa e non perdona
E gira come un ladro
Per le strade di Roma
