That would make a nice bowl in it's own right. In fact, a vast improvement!

Parachute? No, he’s thrown you all off the scent. The truth to this build is now revealed.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
