Where the lovely Brazilian ladies Will catch your ride By the light of the million stars In the evening sky. My Rio, Rio by the sea-o, Flying down t Rio where there's rhythm and rhyme. Hey, feller, twirl that old propeller Got to get to Rio and we've got to make time. Oh, Rio, you'll love it, soaring high above it, Looking down on Rio from a heaven of blue. Send a radio to Rio de Janiero, With a big hello just so they'll know and stand by there, We'll fly there. Hey, Rio, everything will be okay, We're singing and winging our way to you. Dolores del Rio, Gene Raymond, Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire, who else? Charley, let's see you make a chantey out of that! Or try "Carioca." |
