Sambaiana is an unidentified insert song in the episode of Looney Tunes called Slick Hare (1947) as which Hollywood actress Carmen Miranda sings in the cartoon. The lyrics were written by Nestor Amaral for the episode.
Despite the fact Miranda is not voiced by herself but an anonymous contract singer, misinformation that Miranda dubbed the song has been spreading on the Internet. Either way, the actress' name isn't credited in the episode.

Lyrics
[Miranda on the stage, starts performance.]
Longe das praias de Copacabana
Aqui na terra do famoso Tio Sam
Ninguém sabia o que era uma Baiana Reluzindo seus quindins, os seus balangandãs
Um belo dia apareceu uma brasileira
Cantando samba à sua própria maneira
E quando o público ouviu "Mamãe Eu Quero" ficou logo apaixonado e eu vou dizer por quê
Todos faziam...
[Bugs Bunny whistles.]
E ele disse "Alô, alô!"
Agora todos dançam samba, dançam marcha embolada, batucada e até cateretê
[Miranda fades out from the stage.]
