O xamêgo dá prazer
O xamêgo faz sofrer
O xamêgo às vezes dói
Às vezes não
O xamêgo às vezes rói
O coração
Todo mundo quer saber
O que é o xamêgo
Niguém sabe se ele é branco
Se é mulato ou negro (2x)
Quem não sabe o que é xamêgo
Pede pra vovó
Que já tem setenta anos
E ainda quer xodó
E reclama noite e dia
Por viver tão só
E reclama noite e dia
Por viver tão só (2x)
Ai que xodó, que xamêgo
Que chorinho bom
Toca mais um bocadinho
Sem sair do tom
Meu comprade chegadinho
Ai que xamêgo bom
Ai que xamêgo bom
Ai que xamêgo bom
