Gilberto Gil – São João Carioca lyrics
O Rio de Janeiro vai ser só animação
É forró, é alegria, é festa de São João
O Rio de Janeiro vai ser só animação
É forró, é alegria, é festa de São João

São Cristóvão, eu te convido pro chamego
São Conrado, vem que o fogo vai pegar
São Januário, pode vir com seu molejo
Diga a São Sebastião que a festa vai começar
São Judas Tadeu, Santo Antônio, Santa Bárbara
Traga São Vicente, São Bento e muita energia
São José, São Jorge e São João Batista
Santa Marta, todo mundo vai cair nessa folia

No Rio de Janeiro vai ter festa pra chuchu
Na praça da Zona Norte, na praça da Zona Sul
No Rio de Janeiro vai ter festa pra chuchu
Na praça da Zona Norte, na praça da Zona Sul

Vem Flamengo, Madureira, Botafogo
Vem pro jogo lindo que nem futebol
Nas firulas do baião e do xaxado
Driblando tristeza e fado, dançando de sol a sol
A cidade será tão maravilhosa
Quanto mais acesa no seu coração
Estiver sua fogueira, sua brasa
Aquecendo sua casa, ardendo sua paixão
