Goings On In Rio

(Tune: Green Alligators (Shel Silverstein/Irish Rovers)  )

                                                                       Now sweet Felicia down old Rio way
                                                                           Needed to earn a buck in that age-old way
                                                                           So she grabbed herself a tourist, and was making free,
                                                                           Until she had a feel in his BVDs!!

                                                                           The lure of a schilling was soon remote
                                                                           And she yelled,"Stand back, what's in your overcoat?"
                                                                           He says, "Hey lassie, it's what I do!
                                                                           I'm just a travelin' zoo!,  I've got...
 

                                                                           Green Parakeeters and long-necked snakes
                                                                           And eggs where you wouldn't think an egg could break
                                                                           In his pockets and his carry ons, but sure as you please,
                                                                           The loveliest of all was in his BVDs


                                                                          Felicia ran out, and made a call
                                                                          Her trick and made her ardor pall!
                                                                          She dialed Brazo 7-8313
                                                                         And she hollered to her pal on the Rio PD:
 

                                                                           He's got green Parakeeters and long-necked snakes
                                                                           And eggs where you wouldn't think an egg could break!
                                                                           In his pockets and his carry ons, but sure as you please,
                                                                           The loveliest of all is in his BVDs


                                                                           Now, that poor guy got his dose of fame,
                                                                           The cops didn't think it was just silly games
                                                                           They took him to the precinct and they checked him in,
                                                                           And the warden told him, "Strip to yore skin!"
                                                                           And here's what they found...

 
                                                                           There was green Parakeeters and long-necked snakes
                                                                           And eggs where you wouldn't think an egg could break!
                                                                           In his pockets and his carry ons, but sure as you please,
                                                                           The loveliest of all was in his BVDs
