Dora, rainha do frevo e do maracatu
Dora, rainha cafuza de um maracatu
Te conheci no Recife dos rios
Cortado de pontes
Dos bairros das fontes coloniais
Dora, chamei
Ô, Dora
Ô, Dora
Eu vim à cidade pra ver meu bem passar
Ô, Dora, agora
No meu pensamento eu te vejo
Requebrando pra cá e hora pra lá
Meu bem
Os clarins da banda militar
Tocam para anunciar
Sua Dora agora vai passar
Venham ver o que é bom
Ô, Dora, rainha do frevo e do maracatu
Ninguém requebra nem dança melhor do que tu
Ô, Dora, rainha do frevo e do maracatu
Ninguém requebra nem dança melhor do que tu
Ô, Dora
Ô, Dora
Dora rainha do frevo e do maracatu
Dora, rainha cafuza de um maracatu
Do maracatu
Dora, rainha do maracatu
