Dora, rainha do frevo e do maracatu
Dora, rainha cafuza de um maracatu
Te conheci no Recife
Dos rios cortados de pontes
Dos bairros, das fontes coloniais
Dora, chamei
Ò Dora! . . .Ò Dora!
Eu vim à cidade
Pra ver você passar
Ò Dora ...
Agora no meu pensamento eu te vejo requebrando
Pra cá,ora prá lá
Meu bem! ....
Os clarins da banda militar, tocam para anunciar
Sua Dora, agora vai passar.
Venham ver o que é bom
Ò Dora, rainha do frevo e do maracatu
Ninguém requebra, nem dança, melhor que tu!
